Welcome May | Poem

 
oh why sometimes does
seeing come half empty
theology by definition is
either all right or all wrong
compassion grows out of pain
crucifying others helps not
oh say can'ts we see
we are all walking wounded
isms are guilty or noone is
when
we all shed tears together
hearts will heal
breathe out thru the mouth with force
a little puff - then smile
breathe in till chest fills out - relax
welcome O New Blooming May
