I will live in compassion
I will walk a path of peace
no longer judging
I’m living free
I will live in compassion
I will be free
can you walk in compassion
can you let your soul free
can you reach out your hand
and say “follow me”
you’ll find your way
your truth and your light
when you’re able to lay down
when you give up that fight
then I'll walk in compassion
my soul will be free
torment no more
in my eyes they will see
the human condition
such as it is
a walk in compassion
my heart open and free
loving the others
in spite of what they did to me
letting it go
won’t make them free
but it takes me
closer to peace

great poem, really pretty
I love the line in the first stanza about no longer judging -- so often I feel that's where we get stuck. We judge ourselves and others and so easily find either one lacking, and then we get tethered there, wanting justice or absolution, when really, what we most need to do is transcend. Compassion -- for ourselves and others -- seems the perfect way. Thank you for this. It really hit the mark. :)
