A Tincture For Life

Tincture…my recipe

A tincture for compassion,
void of the impurities of doubt,
a remedy for dark selfish lives,
to coax the true soul out;
the knowing of eons,
the wisdom of gods,
investment of learning
from multiple lives thereof,
driven by compassionate eyes.

A tincture for loving,
not exemplified by flesh,
but the true deliverance of a soul,
through kindness and respect;
the selfless sacrifice of attention,
the suppression of will,
to honor another life,
more than oneself, understood,
in the expression of a pure heart.

A tincture for understanding,
not governed by judgement or creed,
rather perceived in balance of a soul’s path
the hardship of learning
and the pain of misdeed;
the acceptance of circumstance,
the visions of why,
an adoption of imperfection,
and the truth above a lie.

A tincture for stillness,
for without it we are overwhelmed,
when the heart is confused,
beyond its own realm;
the need for serenity,
the acceptance of weight,
the necessity to relinquish
all the burdens of fate,
until we may rest in quiet repose.

A tincture for hope,
for without it we’re lost,
a world in troubled conflict,
where there’s danger in response;
the faith in ourselves,
with potential in mind,
the knowing we can endure,
despite the negative endless rhyme,
that we must aspire to overcome.
