The Gift of Empathy

as a blessed empath 
thoughts come to her willingly
feelings overwhelm

he is sad today
opportunity is here 
does she address it

she approaches him 
as no one is a stranger 
soul seeks out spirit 

a day of helping
emotions overwhelm her
she replenishes

empathy rules
God has given her this gift
astral travel helps

Empathy is more than putting one's feel in another's shoes; it's giving up one's personhood and taking on another's. / Maurice
