The Power of Compassion

Is not compassion
powerful –
it need not compare
or judge,
you need not look
at what you think
is “right” or “wrong”,
is not compassion
simply opening up
your heart
to Be with Love –
might you start
by feeling compassion,
might you begin
with compassion
for you?

Does not compassion
help you cut cords,
to release what
you may fear,
since Love reigns
in compassion,
does it not call
on your inherent
Strength –
do you not sense
the freedom,
the power,
that compassion
manifests –
can you not Love
and simply Be Love,
when You Are
compassionate?

Is there not allowance
in compassion,
might you find
acceptance, too –
you need not agree
on tenets that
do not feel right
to you,
but does not forgiveness
dance on the edges
where compassion
paves the way –
is it not Love
that sets you free,
can you send Love
and compassion
to yourself
and others everyday?

Let compassion be
your guide,
let it open
more doors
to Love.
With Strength and
Courage,
Be compassion –
see and embrace
the Love that you are
made of.
