The Key
Forgiveness and compassion
is the key which opens
the lock in my heart
Open the door
and let Love shine
Illuminate my world
all the time
“Use the key,” I say to me
“Use the key.”
Joy of Compassion
Sorrowful joy of compassion
wells up like a bursting flower
A flaming soul cleanse
grace in action
washes my cheeks
Flash springs of hot tears
follow their rutted path
to settle peacefully
in the pond of my heart
Inspired Compassion
Wandering thoughtfully
‘midst the wilderness of Spirit
wrapped in cloaks of reason
in times of discontent
There came the moment
of inspired compassion
It bent the senses
just a tweak or two
until dialed into radiance
at the cracking of a smile
Wild Hair
The woman with the wild hair
and a moustache
Helped me when no one else
was even looking
Took me under her wing
in the good mom sort of way
With pure humanity
and a spot of compassion
Wove me past corporate
into the heart of the matter
Wild hair flying in undeclared breezes
and smile that never left
