Extend your soul from its deepest self
Meeting sorrow while not fearing pain
Place your feet in their shoes of sadness,
Accepting tears as moments, of emotional rain
Tire your ears as you unscramble words
Hearing truly, just with your heart
You’ll reach the threshold of empathy, if you’re willing to give it a shot
Today I will see and not just look
I will listen, not just hear
I will talk rather than just say.
Today is the day, I find a new way
Today I will walk
With my feet on the ground,
Without my head,
Lost in the clouds
I will feel the earth,
My balance, as
My Being
Tomorrow I will practice the same
And the days after to come
Until that day
When my Being, is
My balance
When my words are my wisdom
When I hear with my heart
When I see with my soul
When life is my love
Until that day, I will
The Starting End
