“Let’s get loose
with
compassion.
Let’s drown in the delicious
ambiance of
love.”
― Hafiz

i sat and listened for a while,
in moods of such sweet pleasantry.
deep compassion makes me smile,
its intensity quite heavenly.
tears fall for every lost child,
hearts that hurt so dreadfully.
confessions of mournful trials,
engender spacious empathy.
those who’ve tasted sorrow’s bile,
will pour their love resplendently.
bitterness should go out of style,
when woven into transcendency…

Again and again,
day after day,
choose to extend
your arms and open
your heart, releasing
streams of compassion
far beyond the small,
limited self into the awesome,
astounding universe that shimmers
and thrives on Love.
