Conversations

Give and take of concerns with compassion,
Thoughtful and reassuring human interaction,
Verbal and non verbal exchanges that go beyond convention,
And feel like genuine care and affection.

Far from pretense and affectation,
Not forced, but a free flow of empathy and emotion.
Means and method of authentic attention.
Make a true and deep connection.

Conversations that can heal hearts and affliction,
Take you away from small and large tribulation.
Flow freely like effortless action and reaction,
Are my favorite kinds of conversation.

Chats that don’t seem like an interrogation,
But come from a place of intrinsic motivation,
Of real mutual likeness and resolution,
Leave all in a state of true satiation.

Talks that are not just word transaction.
Or a trade of mere facts and information.
But convey camaraderie and association.
Have a making of a good discussion.

A tete a tete that is beyond social niceties and notion,
With a friend, neighbor, acquaintance or relation,
Done with active listening, interest and intention.
Brings solace, smiles and satisfaction.
