a burn patient lies unconscious
sleep induced
for if he awakened
the pain would kill him
people remain unconscious
for same cause
unable to bear the pain
or unwilling to do so
not knowing
truth and its freedom
and healing
lie beneath
facing the pain

Wow.
This is powerful and very insightful Diane. And it exposes my arrogance and inspires to be more compassionate and gentler.
Thank you.
a beautiful gift to me is another's comment and viewpoint on my own writing, as i study and learn from my written words. at first i was a bit bewildered by how you may have felt arrogance was exposed and found inspiration to be more compassionate. suddenly, however, i realized perhaps what you discovered was compassion and gentleness toward those who are asleep. wow, that is an angle i had not seen in my own words. i thank you from the bottom of my heart...
