|
To give completely |
|
From within yourself |
|
To treat compassion |
|
As the truest form of wealth |
|
No small adjustment |
|
For the average soul |
|
To give yourself away |
|
In order to be whole |
|
To trust completely |
|
With an open heart |
|
To risk the wounds |
|
Of having it all fall apart |
|
Seems paralyzing |
|
With implicit risk |
|
But the packaging |
|
Is not what makes the gift |
|
It isn't weakness |
|
It isn't frailty |
|
It's being human |
|
And it's sustaining |
|
To love completely |
|
And utterly |
|
To give yourself away |
|
So unselfconsciously |
|
Is altruism |
|
In its purest form |
|
A kind of otherness |
|
From which ego is torn |
|
It isn't weakness |
|
It isn't frailty |
|
It's being human |
|
And it's sustaining |
