Heart gentle, Eye mindful

I can offer you sympathy,
try to feel you through empathy.
But if you take it for granted,
silence will be your remedy.

Remember the seeds you planted,
when unnourished will bloom slanted.
Hearts yearn for balanced devotion,
like birds sharing what they chanted.

When there is too much commotion,
tears seem to fall in slow motion.
Will you give my soul an embrace,
try to sense its deep emotion?

Ego only portrays disgrace.
Some actions are hard to replace.
Judgement is harshly negative.
Selflessness should be your showcase.

When the conscience seems tentative,
your heartbeats become expletive.
But if you've helped quench someone's thirst,
the thoughtful become sensitive.

Before the heart and soul immerse,
the eyes observe compassion first.
Awareness brings sweet harmony.
A purpose that should be well versed.

Dear Silent One, Your poem has a depth that speaks directly to my soul. The simplicity of your words belies the complexity of the emotions they convey. Through your verses, you show the importance of empathy and understanding and the profound impact that even the smallest acts of kindness can have. I love your call for selflessness and sensitivity in a world often dominated by ego and judgment is a beacon of hope and inspiration. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Good morning, SO - well it's morning here! Your perceptive observations on life and the moral challenges each person faces are eloquently stated in each stanza, SO. Indeed, compassion is the first step as "awareness brings sweet harmony." I love your choice of the rubaiyat form - a poem within a poem - so skillfully written. Your rhyme scheme is fresh as each stanza touches on the soul's universal battle between ego and selflessness. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings to you!

Your last verse is the summary of the whole poem. So true that we do lack compassion at times. Most pray for riches ignoring the needy ones.

Empathy is a fundamental human quality that allows us to understand and share the feelings of others. It is a powerful force that fosters connection, compassion, and understanding in our interactions with one another. It is essential for building meaningful relationships and creating a supportive and inclusive society. Therefore, it is simperative that we recognize the significance of empathy and actively cultivate it in ourselves and others. I know you possess this powerful quality S1 and always such a support to others. Great flow of inspiration.. Hug

Hey my friend, your poem eloquently discusses the significance of empathy, selflessness, and compassion in relationships, highlighting the importance of maintaining a balance and understanding in interactions with others. It delves into the complexities of human relationships, exploring emotions, actions, and intentions with nuance. Themes of empathy, selflessness, judgment, and harmony are examined, with words such as sympathy, devotion, sensitivity, and compassion used to convey the emotions and concepts within the poem. The language is reflective and introspective, encouraging readers to reflect on their own emotions and behaviors.

Lovely piece entirely and I love the last stanza. Because we are kind-hearted and we love too much doesn't give people the need to take it for granted. We still have boundaries and they'll come in when kindness or love is breached. "Will you give my soul an embrace, try to sense its deep emotion?" A soul embrace is what I need now. Cheers, dear Silent.

I've never written in this particular poetic form, but you've piqued my interest in it. Your poem appears to be a solid contest entry. I especially liked: Ego only portrays disgrace. Some actions are hard to replace. Judgement is harshly negative. Selflessness should be your showcase. Best wishes with the contest; have a splendid day, Sara
