Opening Mouths

Compassion is lost Understanding is the key Love is the answer Unlocking the pain Making waves in the ocean The under tow pulls A downward thrust calls Swim hard up to the blue sky Breathe in and breathe out Open mouths suck air To calm the tired spirits Exhaling their pain outward Deeply remember Listen to the suffering Take it not on board Compassion is lost Understanding is the key Love is the answer
