trying to retain softness in a world of harshness

This heart of mine is s o f t
like the crimson cushion
I sit upon cross-legged,
breathing in emotions
that a stone-souled society says
should be ricocheted off aortic walls.
But instead, I heed Compassion's call
and feel it all to heal it all,
no feeling too big or small.
I really appreciate this one, especially with how things are in the world right now. It takes a huge amount of courage and skill to cultivate compassion and feel deeply in this chaotic time. I'm cheering you on and inspired by your approach. 💜
