Compassion . . .

I posted this in another thread in response to a request. I thought it deserved it's own thread:

Compassion

Compassion is the earth,
It is always beneath you regardless of flavor.
It receives all in death,
Without judgment or favor.


Love is the moon,
A beautiful reflection in the lake.
Entwines the favored son,
But fades dancing away in the wake.


Compassion is the sun.
The sun gives warmth and life to all,
Even the dark shadows in the morn
Receive light in the eve whether short or tall.


Love is the moon
Sometime a smile, sometimes not
Dancing in the shadows
Sometimes there, sometimes not


Compassion fills the air.
To some a soft breeze.
Others a deadly roar and a prayer
Not one nor the other to please.


Love is the moon
Playing hide and seek
Sometimes a wink
For those who vainly seek.


Compassion is the sea,
Ascending to the heavens unseen,
Returning again to give life.
Or a grave to some in the sea


Love is the rose.
Beautiful to behold,
When no longer a rose,
The thorns take hold.


God is not a chess player
With the white pieces.
God is the sea . . .
And we are the fishes
