If You Believe In It Too

Accidental Poet



 

I am no more perfect

Than I am flawed

No more indifferent

Than I am awed

 

For my eyes have seen

The coldness of hatred

My heart the love

Of two hearts mated

 

My ears the screams of pain

The music of silence

My soul the feel of compassion

Of rescuing ambulance sirens

 

The vagueness of

Uncharted confusion

The clarity of seeing

Deceitful illusion

 

In a world such as this

A mix of good and bad

One must except it all

A face happy or sad

 

We comfort the injured

Help them heal

See inevitabity in our death

The ever turning of life’s wheel

 

You help me

As I help you

Compassion lives in all of us

                Thanks N, this one started with the first stanza coming to me all at once, the rest was a little at a time. The last stanza needed a little reworking until I felt it was right. The idea never seems to leave me that the world is in dire need of compassion for others.

                This poem so well worded and metered reflects the dialectic of opposites in such a concise and satisfying manner. I loved it and it deserves a fave
