A touching expression has been made on compassion and forgiveness astutely. The last stanza is much impressive. A beautiful poem shared amazingly.10

Some are in a prison of pride, others are cast about without boundaries, rudderless and without the discipline needed to maintain a semblance of balance. Lost souls come in all forms as we are all fallen from grace. We are best when we humble ourselves and do not give in to the culture of cynicism. We are defiant in our goodwill and unrelenting pursuit of happiness for all.

Much empathy here shown for any person who has inner turmoil which can seem impossible to overcome, unless we commit to finding faith in the healing hands and minds of others.

We dismiss compassion at our peril. This is not to say that we are to be fools easily taken for a ride, or seen as a soft target. The opposite is true. As we see things as they are we can differentiate that which is evil and destructive from that which is broken and suffering. A poet can imagine their misfortune and in so doing recognition and understanding will prevail.
