my heart.

 

3.

Compassion can be seen within each drop of rain. When a drop focuses on its own sorrow it will appear to us cold and gray. But if it instead lets the light of compassion shine through each drop will reflect its compassion on others, becoming of itself a small part of a much greater rainbow.

the eye of dawn

sink me into dawn
into eyes unknown
into the heart of your foe,

question me not
for I am you,

all that you love
tumultuous hate
the peace and anger
will not abade

mearly a shadow within.
