Your journey through life, how the world is through some very unique comparisons of respect, honesty & trust and communication, about 4 winds, seasons, directions, colors and most importantly about Love. Your further explanation is unique, This is the first time for me to read beautiful poem and then short story describing this poem. My favorite of this one is definitely

"We are One. We are all Related. No matter what you think. No matter how you feel.
This is Constant and will be Forever. We are all connected to one universe"

Missing California poem and a trip down your memory lane of some places in California where you always come back even though you travel all over the world. You write about you favorite places in such as Big Sur, which I have never heard of before. I love hiking trails and wildlife and if I could I definitely would spend my whole life in nature, you know, buy a small house 🏡 in suburbs with wild animals coming near, feeding and me watching them while drinking my morning coffee. Beautifully written with my favorite part:

And all this beauty I am given, I'll be "California dreaming,
Forever and ever through the rest of my human days.

And last but not least your poem about love and some tips on how to keep the fire burning in that relationship. You are completely correct about relationships becoming more difficult over the past few decades, which is soo sad. You hear about more and more breakups and divorces all around you. I’m a religious and I belive in living with one person for the rest of my life, not only because of what my religion teaches me, but because this one person I married is worth it and at the same time there is no other person in the entire world worth leaving my wife no matter what. Here is my favorite:

My beautiful princess, my wife to be,
I'll love you until the end of time.
Because you are my one and only,
"My timeless love divine".

I can’t put one poem in front of another, they all are soo beautifully written. All I can say is “heads down”.
