Compassion

I feel your loneliness
As a lump in my throat
I want to comfort you
But distance prevents it
An ocean apart
No faces familiar
Know you are not abandoned
Know you are loved, missed, prayed for

Peace, my brother, peace

Confused Opaque Lost Ambiguous

Blue cylinder, slightly tapered
Filled with life
Depression declares what's inside
But beneath the seal you bubble
You effervesce among frozen obstacles
Emerging in a refreshed state
But it will not last long for you
Heated darkness will soon consume you
And your energy must pass to another
