Compassion composes

Compassion composes
For every instrument
We can all play a part
In greater sentiment

The love for oneself is
Not the greatest of all
Love is greater than one
It's an assembly hall

You are nothing more than

You are nothing more than
Goal posts, rigid and fixed
Not cheering the athletes
Any empathy nixed

I've chosen the sidelines
Past the bleachers beyond
Away from the sports field
And happily withdrawn

Simply spectacular

Simply spectacular

Like one and one is two

Moments lasting minutes

And not just blinking through

Old souls walk the gravel

That stone stands out for me

And likewise chosen to

Become the greater We

Julia Jackson Prayer

Clearly I’m  beautiful
The brown skin of my hand
Whatever shade is yours
Is equally as grand

There's not one type of tree
Flower, fish, horse, grass, rock
How dare you to expect
Humans to be one flock

No part of me is here

No part of me is here
No sign of my before
As if I left nothing
When I passed through that door

Yet my encounter with

A granular, a small

A part of me was left

Behind and towers tall

Complacent and complex

Complacent and complex
Simplicity is gone

Walking with an unrest

In the rouging of dawn

Another complete day

The fire is left unpoked

The coming rain will wash

The words we left unspoked

This is not intellect

This is not intellect

All emotions at best

Raging flooding river

And a view from its crest

Dissection of feelings

What's the weather today

So much to accomplish

So much to throw away
