#commiserate
. ***Tear in the eye
wound in the heart***
Teardrops ... that drip
from these eyes
shall never be hidden
No mask of humiliation
shall cloak
an empathetic soul
Tears fall without shame ...
Cleansing tears wept
of undisguised
merciful surrender,
purging the essence
of mending heart;
shamelessly
pouring forth,
unsifted
grain and chaff
together as one
to willingly exhale
compassionate breathe ―
into a sympathy
impoverished world
Being mindful ―
never wanting
misspoken words
to further
another’s pain
when there is
an unwillingness
to unveil the very core,
the wisdom of silence
reveals
Lean into imperfection's blossoms …
Embrace the light
from disregarded
tears shed,
releasing the traces
of the spirit of love
within the soul
Blessed be
the empathetic
almsgiver
consoling with love
without pity
Giving love
is to share
unconditionally
with eternal purpose;
flooding forth
a flow of empathy
onto a love
deprived world …
Love more ~
