Here's a Poem for Estelle Cortes Pimentel, Leah Dancel, and Napoleon Torres, who, aside from being poets, are also thinkers and empaths and i enjoy reading their poetry:

YB
Warmth and something even more ,
Is soothing, bracing me inside
and I'm sure in you too.
We struggle by our poe-try
to define what it is to be
an eye in this mystery,
a star that sees all that
a heart should see in cerule skies,
untouched by cosmic moods
and swings, and sun, sweetest rains…
a human race reaching for
its integrated final Self
where I and all selves merge.
In this pyr’mid where we are,
splitting boundaries disappear,
the I's and you's and mine
the Christ sword sev’ring ties
to Babylonian pride.
