Tolerance for a short time

On every day the sun begins
Someone walks without a friend
Yet I'm proud to see the sky
And buy a coffee looking high

If there was a mystic way to live
No ever came back to give
I love the breath of gentle breeze
Let it blow the peace we need.

When the sky is dark
And the world is grey
And no-one believes a word that you say
When the pain and humiliation
Are more than you can bear

Your heart the Lady said
A trouble to no soul
You landed lightly in her arms
And if I may make so bold
The world the Lady offers
Is boon to any soul
And gentle pastures beckon
Before you are very old

Pay in kind
Pay in fear
Pay in coin
Pay in beer
Pay with your life
Pay with your thanks
Why pay my man
The burden is light
For a heart as yours
We don't need coin
If you needed your heart
Then we would join
In a contract for your mind
But your soul
O do be kind
You dont need promises of what might be
The misty clouds for all too see
You need certainty of the soul
And life to let it become the whole

And so alas
To our world you come

Where souls are counted

By the sum

Beautifully said.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."
