Eyes to see with....

Perspective is sometimes all that is needed.....

Hunger of the ear to hear a good word spoken,

a dry and thirsty soul drinks from the eternal fountain.

Rest for the weary from life’s toil as it takes its toll.

Peace from raging waves, a refuge for the soul.

This hidden place shielded from cares of tomorrow.

Focus on  beauty of the present, healing from sorrow.

Can you see the need of those with pain?

Empathizing hearts and friendship gained.

Author's Note

See the need and help others, we all need each other....

I really enjoyed this. The first line alone really pulls you and is beautifully crafted.

"Hunger of the ear, to hear a good word spoken..."

Lovely writing.

I love this finely penned poem filled to overflowing with kindness, empathy, understanding for those whom the poet meets on his journey through this lifetime. The is very little good news to be heard these days and I love how the poet hungers for good news, as we all do. Rest from life's weariness and peace for one's spirit are so nicely expressed. Excellent advice given to focus on the present moment and allow oneself to heal and inhale the beauty we see with our eyes within you which we will recall in time to come. I also love how the poet asks if we can see the needs of those in pain, whose needs are not presently being me. Thoughts are very poetically inked and superbly expressed in this poem, David. You are a wonderful poet! Thank you for sharing...
