the walk of the elephants

em-pathy

empathy is a precious word

often uttered, but rarely "heard"

often asked for

but hardly given

man is far to "me me" driven

...and needs to learn that

the greatest joy of all

is to share of oneself

and feel 10 feet tall!!!!

us by me

another day

another day

another chance

to smile

to look upon a loved one

and feel happy,

...for a while

to revel in the future

escape the trap

of the past

our hearts all need

this suture,

but how long

will it last?

and on this chilly

and on this chilly

heartwrenching night

i am spilling my heart

i have so much to write

but time to settle

...to be reborn

into a finer fettle

come early morn

love and light

namaste

goodnight

coquerel's sifaka and the magic of madagascar

grateful alive

whenever i get lonely or scared,

lost in sadness, heartache bared

when pain and frustration

are at their most

i remember the gift of life

and i raise a toast
