The Empaths Rest

Empath's agonized days of tears,
when children die and humanity suffers,
their hearts heave and grieve.
The empaths rest as angels hover,
In the starry presence of God.
A balm for their lament,
to sleep, to dream,
of a peaceful Earth,
of more benevolence come morning. ~

To hide away or face the storm is the decision to be made. Most times even the news is too much. Well worded.

Empathize... Catalyze... Baptise... Realize! (Not exactly what you might expect from me; but I find only good in 'Peace on Earth; goodwill toward men!') ~ gw

Thank you, Gershon. All these earthquakes all over the world make me wonder. A pleasant Sunday to you and your family.
