Compassion Poems
In Praise of Soft Light
by Richard Randolph
I like soft light best,
candles and moonlight.
Such light always overlooks a blemish
to highlight the deeper beauty-
the sparkle in one's eye,
the glow of a fire, the contours of the night.
It's not concerned with getting to some final truth,
but instead, naturally gregarious, invites us to talk
of our dreams, our aspirations, indeed anything,
usually over a glass of burgundy,

Love.
by Reshika Jaya Chandar
Love,
What a beautiful word
It can mean different things
To people all around the world
But
What is love?
I asked myself,
And that's when I felt the presence of your elegance

Reason Is Not Enough
by Richard Randolph
What people call reason
is usually nothing more than a weapon
they wield to justify their prejudices.
I have seen otherwise kind people
cut a friend to ribbons with cold logic
and then smile at the carnage,
forgetting that pride is one of the
seven deadly sins.
But meaningful thought requires much more:

Neglect
by Michael R. Burch
What good are your tears?
They will not spare the dying their anguish.

to a child sick of living, waiting to perish?

You're My Deep Breath
by Frangipani Rhett
Today my child slammed the door too hard
And I took a deep breath and thought of you
You set the standard for how to show love
And so I shifted towards compassion
Last Sunday I met up with a friend for coffee
And she talked for so long, I got bored
I took a deep breath and thought of you
And remembered the presence you gave me

It's in your Beautiful DNA
by Arvin Dassad
Mark my words, less they be lost amongst the echoes of time.
Listen to the measures and cadence of my tone as I tell thee, the most utmost truth.
Bind me to the earth, so I might live amongst your prenumbra, just those fleeting corners
The negative space of your x- ray could suffice, to surround you so fleeting,

Compassion
by The Project Of Decadence
For Compassion and Understanding,
I don't accept any call
I am trapped into an infernal loop where i am misunderstood with a Provider
As soon as i am covered by the sound of words

I myself, did not make, I
But have been made
I have been watered like a flowered to get where i got
I have never asked to be here, therefore
