Hearing With Compassion's Eyes
S/he listens for powerful words
and hears deeper moving sounds
resonant sighs
empowering peace replies
corroborated with his eyes.
I see Her capitalized nurture meaning
and trust what remains visible
long after forgetting short-lived
persuasive
weaponized purposes he has veiled
and she unveils
Especially when sight
displays dissonance
betraying trusted
faithful sensate confluence
Without faithless flaws
bad-humored rumors
mistrusted words
vicious circling tumors
not consonant
with what I can hear
and see nonviolently
however nonverbally
with sacred communion eyes
To perceive
regard
anticipate
compassion
slowly disregarding fear
of chronic
addictive win/lose compulsive problems
regardless of past disempowering angers
without unguarded win/win passions.
When I can see Her story
I can hear my narrative
spiritually unfold
naturally inside
MetaPhysically where
and sacred when
and soulfully why
s/he speaks
through his lovely
wholesome brown closed sighs
opening regretful blue sky eyes
And listens with unguarded ears
to words for power's integrity
communionating robust agency,
and not against win/win vivacity,
Widening deeper
enlightening
elegant round unsound
intricately felt soul-filled sounds
Intimately touched trust
resiliently seen as heard
resonant resounds.
