As Contention Departs

As contention departs
We feel the love of God
Melt into our hearts
And replace what has gone

Then through this forsaking
There is a newness of life
A spiritual reawakening
Without the barriers of strife

Always step aside
And ask for things to pause
When emotions override
We fight with frightened claws

Thus, when; higher thinking
Becomes compromised
Synapses start shrinking
And transmitters cannot bind

Wait for this to pass
To allow again the bond
That was meant to last
Where the heart and God is found
