Tatyana Carney Poet Rhyme

Holding Empathy's Hand

I spent an hour walking in your footsteps,
two days inside your tender heart,
a week beside you failing
and still I could not lift, impart:

You truly were forgiven.
Your guilt had traveled long ago
to parts unnamed and conquered
by the boy you were, and don't you know...
You ran a million miles.
You empathized with every man
and brought to mind discovery
of foreign seas and sights and land.

I spent an hour in the mirror,
two days inside my thoughts of you,
a week beside myself with grief,
for what else could I truly do?
