Compassion’s Flow

Remember dear friends
Seek out love and compassion
Flow through you and out

A challenging today
Turning off the modern mind
Breathing in fresh air

A storm faces me
Destruction; my own making
Irrational fears

Manic busyness
Sunlight slowly reclaims days.
January rains

Tomorrow’s calling
Trying to dance with the fog
Emptiness embraced

Sit, waiting for God,
Grasping tranquility’s joy.
Peacefulness transcends.

Strangely the night comes
Springing upon my workload
Exhaustion bites hard

Darkness expanding
Growing from hidden places
Sunlight fades anew

Staring from within
Push past fearful reactions
Outwards our focus

Clouds delight me so
Tranquility flowing forth
Dew drops glistening
