Compassion's Duality

by Anne Tyler Lord Insufficient to reach, the depths of their hearts, broken with despair and desperation. Insufficient to comfort, the ripples of fear, reverberating through all who care. Insufficient in form, to relieve the suffering of Humanity, so close to our hearts. Sufficient in stillness, to hold the pain observed all around. Sufficient in Spirit, to sense the mystery beyond comprehension. Sufficient in peace, to accept what our heart is destined to be given.

Love's Note

by

Anne Tyler Lord

Love’s Note was written, After thoughts, Between words, Without obsession.

Love’s Note was played, Between breaths, Outside sounds, Within embrace.

Love’s Note was sent, With wind, Around time, In gardenias.

Love’s Note was not read, Under sedation, Through desire, In enchantment.

Love’s Note was not heard, Inside hypocrisy, Around mediocrity, Over indulgence. Saturating with silent hypnotic bliss,

Love’s Note, always present. Awaiting Awareness in obvious sight, Love’s Note, yearns to be yours.
