For Those Who Suffer

 

To Those Who Suffer

May you feel encircled 
with tenderness in your distress.
May you be gathered close enough 
to detect soft breath on your cheek.
May you rest against a kind chest 
where you can sense 
the steady rhythm 
of a warm heart 
sustaining you in your suffering.
May you recognize you are not alone.
May what is beyond naming, 
beyond knowing, 
beyond measuring, 
comfort you.
A legion of invisible souls 
extend their hands 
sending comfort 
like sound waves.
May your physical body know 
beyond all understanding 
you are accompanied.  
May your human body 
register this immeasurable 
touch of compassion.
