When the world is at odds
look at smiles from a tea box  
it doesn't cost but a penny  
but worth much more  
and can cure a broken smile
with soft whispers from the heart  
and a kiss in the floating mist  
when the world is at odds
 
When your soul is at odds
seek the silent pieces
that soothe the secret spaces
where strange beauty resides
hidden virtues that surprise
the eyes back into peace
and correct misguided paths
when your soul is at odds
 
When your heart is at odds
listen for earth's beating meter
its tempo will balm the ills
collect the broken shards that
fell untethered in pain and loss
for she will heal with care
the unimaginable suffering
when the heart is at odds
