A friend asked about reaching out to others. Their focus was in the area of rescuing others from painful situations. This can be a very loving action. It can be something else also. The poem “Spend the Time” is a side-by-side look at the two sides of this coin.
Spend the Time
Bonus Poem for Day 247 – 20150905
Selfish Ego | Loving Heart |
Spend the time, reach out a hand, to heal another when it is you needing to be saved.
To be a savior would be a treat, vicarious mending of the life within.
Should I smile and say okay to ease your mind so you may walk away?
Call me if you need me is the to which I nod as you walk away. | Spend the time with a fellow soul, one in need of life's consolation on the rocky shoals.
Are you a savior, or just a reminder of who I could be instead of the one that I am today?
If I reveal enough of who I am would this coax me to become the one yet to be?
Call me if you have the time, my heart does plead. You nod and echo back my love I feel for you. |
