Transposition

Transposition

A human is afflicted
Constitutionally impaired

Stricken with a penchant 
For humans inherently despaired

On the conscious level
Feels sensations of suffering

Gleans paramount endearment
For their dark proclivity

The human radiates benevolence
To the inviolable entity

Transmitting a vision
That life is worth living

Furnish with the knowledge
That existence must seek balance

Those who shine on others
The beams reach them too

Love begets love
Let us walk in their shoes

                                                                             Sunshine Williams

Wow. I love this. "Those who shine on others // The beams reach them too". A truism anywhere you go. The law of nature simply demands it. I admire your mind and heart, Jill. Kim

Thank you very much SKAT, I'm a fan of your work (not just cuz every one else is :)), You welcomed me from the start. I have never really considered myself a poet, now being immersed in beautiful verse, I have never been more inspired to be one, jill
