Pain




How do you learn
what is good? -
by having
an experience
of bad.
             1.

The newborn baby's
just crying
to express
to the world
his frustration
of not knowing
how to breathe,
and how to breathe
with no pain...

            2.

What do you do
when the pain -
just consistent
'friend', living
with you
without permission,
but taking advantage
of your compassion?
Tolerance...
takes time
to become
one 'family'.

             3.

Different tricks
you create
to distract
this annoying
'friend',
and the person's
freaking out,
'friend' shows up
by unconsciously
moving the body,
pulling the hands or head,
trying helplessly to stop...,
calling to world
to respect,
to be counted in,
but gets this:
- Mental!
- Looser!
- Minority...

              4.
What the reward
just to be heard,
understood,
giving chance
today
to heal,
to release,
let it go
to past,
to curse,
to karma,
to pain!

              5.

And remember:
any person
we meet
reflects
some part of us,
so, please, smile
to the stranger,
treat him/her
as better
part of you.
Thanks!

  2. World would be a better place if everyone behaved as you just have described in the 5th part. I think we have to start from ourselves, everything begins from small things, and maybe then ice will move. Thank you for beautiful, inspirational words!
