by Robert Lloyd Jaffe
Those that expect understanding
are least likely to understand
those that demand compassion
are slow to give a hand.
The understanding
listen with intent
and without history or
contemplation.
The compassionate
expect nothing
except a place to sit,
and are never disappointed
by puzzles with pieces
that don’t fit.

ABOUT THE POET ~
I am an observer and listener of the music of life. Where I find cadence, I find my interest and passion directed. It can be sound, light, smell, or purely an experience of thought. The sky, the sea, the mountains, and the machines that allow me to explore those places draw my attention, and give me serenity.
