Arthur Vaso Poet Couplet

Saint Harif

In humor hides wisdom
In sadness hides Coptic truth

Empathy can hold all of the world’s treasures
Compassion the vessel of which to drink it plenty

Righteousness is not being right
Olive branches know this plight

A man without a smile
Is a desert without a mirage

Walk along the road of the wounded
And hold their tiny hands

Those who mock for their trivial pleasure
In the end will feel the angel’s measure

Darren White March 23, 2017 at 3:26 PM Love and be kind. Beethoven 7, movement 2, it touches you in the deepest corners of your heart and soul and makes you mild and loving. It's as Tim says, we can only be ourselves. Beautiful poem :)

Tim Smith March 23, 2017 at 8:37 AM Eventhough they mock we should not mock in turn but teach them how to love and be kind. In an age of high speed information overload many fail to think things through and tend to become aggressive and reactionary. We can't all be like the noble saints and we shouldn't try. We only should be ourselves with open minds and hearts.
