EMPATH

Ebony eyes with somber smiles white weeps
Empath in denial in a peach poetic sleep
Unaware of blue truths planted so deep
Life is a silver school never stop learning

At the same time you are a teacher
Your lesson is living and it's a feature
No one but you can take the clay of your life
Fire it up and shape into something divine

Someone is cut and you feel it too
Someone goes nuts and so do you
You are indeed the gift of feel
On your knees it seems too real

Empath you are a special soul
Protect your heart continue to grow
Shed your sins as snake shed skins
Be who you are a heart for men

Empathy is part of the best of people. I'm so glad you wrote this. My own empath has been.a little rusty lately. I take heart.

Those kindhearted people who sympathize with those in need are very special people. After reading so many of your thoughtful comments, Karen, I think you appreciate flesh and blood poets.
