I am You

There are several times
of awakening
in a life still
quakening

In gentle
or harsh
rediscovering
of life gone
by, this
recovering

Some things we bless
by the moment
others we bless
by their torment
that it is gone
but it comes back
again
sometimes we know
that sometimes,
we bend

It is this, this moment
here, and now
that I must take a
breath, and how
much it hurts, this
pain, so deep
but first I must,
before I sleep

Know

Know that in this here
and now,

That people come, and
some,

Somehow,

Feel

And in their feel,
translate,

A moment’s qualm

In warmth, equate

The feel,

The hurt

The deep

Transpires

And before the fall
in this deep quagmire

They will come to
know of them,

Their

Self

And dust their
memories
off that shelf

And bring themselves
to the forefront
and clear!

As their stoic
memories
share!

For their way
is
all
in
here

Where I
am you,
and understand

All of life, in eight lines.

Well done!

AWESOME...If we could but *all* do this!! Just walk a mile in the others shoes then things would be so much clearer by seeing it through their eyes, their perspective! Compassion costs nothing, but so much is gained by *all* concerned. Loved reading this!!! Beautiful!!!!

"I Am You"--and you are me,
We're one and the same
In this family!

Compassion and understanding make up a big part of the essence of who you are--with a huge portion of talent thrown into the mix for good measure!
