song of compassion

Dalai Lama, "My true religion, my simple faith is in love and compassion. There is no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine, or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are - these are ultimately all we need."

the melody of inner songs frees of all fear
the rhythm if life sways gently back and forth
in this presence... is your peace
this song allows you to sink in and expand out
just be a melody of your inner song

or... corrected by a friend...

Listen to the melody of our inner songs, emerging, free of fear.
Just as the rhythm of life sways us gently back and forth
Witness it’s presence as yours, as peace
They consent to our ideals that sink in and expand out, becoming,
just listen, Be; Ah... the melody of our inner songs...

thank you
