Minds Within

When I touch our minds within,
The insight to compassion reaches from pain.
We suffer with tender bodies,
with stricken knowledge that appeared gentle.
This love stands calm,
in all presence of the human readiness.
Our fretful nature,
rests toward the desire for laughter.
Yet mere infirmities invade that voice,
Such mankind mourns for loving hearts
Beyond those intellectual conclusions.
Much will comfort the bodily emotions.
The returned love,
leads to the power of our sensitive souls.
And the command of hate,
Depart our bodies.
