Poem - Spend the Time

[kokopelle]

A friend asked about reaching out to others. Their focus was in the area of rescuing others from painful situations. This can be a very loving action. It can be something else also. The poem “Spend the Time” is a side-by-side look at the two sides of this coin.

 

Spend the Time

Bonus Poem for Day 247 – 20150905

 

Selfish Ego	Loving Heart
Spend the time, reach out a hand, to heal another when it is you needing to be saved.   To be a savior would be a treat, vicarious mending of the life within.   Should I smile and say okay to ease your mind so you may walk away?   Call me if you need me is the refrain I hear to which I nod as you walk away.	Spend the time with a fellow soul, one in need of life's consolation on the rocky shoals.   Are you a savior, or just a reminder of who I could be instead of the one that I am today?   If I reveal enough of who I am would this coax me to become the one yet to be?   Call me if you have the time, my heart does plead. You nod and echo back my love I feel for you.
