This is all you need to know

The harder you look the less you will find, so trust in your heart and abandon the mind.

Details are for microscopes,

distances for telescopes,
murky depths for periscopes,
and promises for broken hopes.

They’re all mind’s lies for human dopes,
so throw away that useless rope.
Open up your heart to God,
and let spirit’s river flow,
Love is what you are, sweet soul,
this is all you need to know.

Wow the ending rhymes really make this poem. It must have been hard to craft so it made sense and was effective. It all makes absolute sense and speaks many truths. I like the shift in this poem too..

I think this shift on is my favorite part. This is a very strong but simple poem. Thanks for the read!

Your words are true. In most cases the first reaction is the right one. A powerful poem with strong and positive wisdom. A excellent poem.

A loving heart leaves a beautiful mark without intending any gain, while a selfish mind has endless goals and always leaves a stain.
