Falling for compassion
The price I paid
For any kind of love
To finally awaken
To the surface of my body
And where my mind had taken me
There is no greater peace of mind
Than falling for compassion.

Kitchen in my religion
Hands deep in the communal water
Love, the kitchen cupboards, dishes
Piled up again to live out my religion
My feet and my heart, compassion
How comforting the steaming kettle
Whistling my life pressures away
Naked before all of my confessions
I now wipe the table clear of dirt
Breathe hymns into the soft season.
