Empathy

Where despair mount stairs 
In tombs of aspirations
There blooms compassion

Amos, this may be read at many levels, including very complex. I like it ... Lines 2 and 3 have a nice rhythm, turning tombs of despair into wombs of hope, mercy, grace. Buddhism in one way, is all about COMPASSION! Thanks so much. anil deo
