DISSOLVING I am everywhere God is Encompassing a truth A truth that does encourage compassion And this startles me But from this vintage view I can distinguish the universal difference: Truth the drought that drains the terrain Just there, just is, no justice It does not cater to reality as compassion does Molding structure into an eroded tomb of bias It does not seek it with fury As its destination is always right where you are Going where you’re going And from these eyes I’ve borrowed brilliant power Compassion surrendering Dissolving like the sugar in my iced tea Not sweet though— Bitter.
