Consolation is where pain is allowed to be

Consolation is your sadness on my table.
Pain that is allowed to be.

Consolation is the power of silence.
My listening without judgement.

Consolation is training in little.
Not judging. Not talking.

Not wise advice.
Consolation is hardly anything.

Except being there.
There and then.
Close by.
