PEACEFUL CONTEMPLATION

Quiet prevails in the waiting room
Lunch hour taking place
I wait in peace and
Think of the needs of others
There are many hardships
Along with many blessings
We have to differentiate or
Wind up in a mental mess
We all have more than we think
Good health is most important
Consideration for others is powerful
It is even transformational
Lifting someone up from dread
Can be a life enriching experience
I think about potential calm
The loveliness of the peaceful feeling
Early morning communication with nature
Listening to the sounds; the music
Then the planning to provide 
This theater of dramatics to others
Not easy, but it is doable if
The recipient is open to receiving
Prophets are never welcome 
In their homeland and advice from a friend
Falls into a similar category, but
There is a spoken word that must be said
A crying baby often needs attention
We approach gently, with grace
We teach to listen; to search for light
To meditate on the source of this
There is a crack in everything
That is how the light gets in
So we look until we are successful and
Find the place where we may enter
We are attempting to renew life
For others and ourselves in the process
I hear my name being called
Time for my appointment
Time to take my counsel and perhaps
Offer the same to my caretaker
