SelfPub: *** Who in this life Learned...

***
Who in this life
learned compassion for others,
in their grief to take part,
for the greatest treasure in it
will not count already
though his own happiness.
***
Blind Faith in the Power of Penanceous Words
and in our time
sanctimony and hypocrisy
perhaps the most common
species
such a tenacious human superstition.
***
In cordial friendship, in love,
that circumstance is worthy
every time mentioned:
spiritual intimacy
will not be a hindrance
at least what times and distances!
