Omniscient presence
She does notice everything
Hypervigilant
Saturated with knowledge
She wisely keeps confidence...

Empathic whisper
So soft you hardly hear voice
The message profound
Mother earth is suffering
Little done to ease the pain....

Is it sorrow in canine disguise?  
Is it pity empathic and wise?
Or is it not either 
Nor sympathy neither
But hunger we see in its eyes?...

can I tell you all
love is not to dispense
without forgiveness

I will be right here
I'm always empathic
love and forgiveness

an instant empathic recognition
a knowing without knowing how I know
being clairsentient is in my mind's forefront
I adjust my clairvoyant eye as an old soul brings a message...

Giving without stings
	is the empathic thing

Giving with strings
	is the narcissist who stings

Beware the skin of softness
	Keep an eye on the sword

Enticement has its dangers
	Paradise lurks forewarned...

They say, be empathic
    and show that you care;
I remind it goes both ways,
    this street that we share.
I know I should walk 
    for a mile in your shoes,
but unless you wear 13s,
    I may have to refuse....

Ethereal enigma echoed empathic eel ‘s emotional elevation
Elongated elusive elephant-like Edison expected ectoplasm
Extrasensory efforts of exacting Ellis effortlessly eludes evildoers
Exasperating empathetic eel and elusive ethereal enigma...

a plethora of feelings saturated my soul
delicacy is not usually my style
But the magic elixir has not been invented yet
that would help me tolerate meanness
A silhouette of emotions causes all of my sadness to congregate
Tranquility is those who are not empathic I guess...

I drowned in the ocean of tranquilly
I was like driftwood
turning deeply in the empathic sea

My orbs
became my listening device
soft mud preserved my rib cage

In the eyes of the believer
I sojourn  meekly
anointing the hereafter
hungry like Lazarus
with my long knows...

Darkness sucks 
With empty promises of peace
It’s empty shadows lie
To souls of poets  that had to die
It hides in lonely shadowed  why
Empathic askers staring cry
Reality gets hard to hold
Painful yesterdays pile high 
For  letting go is easy done
Until you know
Tomorrow’s gone...

autumn wood nymph threw flaming pixels into the sky
harvest moon smiled at her audacity, he likes a challenge
black forest is silent, wondering how long they will glow
October has begun, witches and warlocks are afoot
shh! Pretend you do not know, being mortal and all
you empathic receiver!...

Food prices rise, the people despair
Of long lines of vehicles for miles
Overwhelmed by need
Desperation tires their minds

Linda, single Mom, grips steering wheel
Inwardly asks, "How did I get here?"
Never thought it would happen to her family
Empathic food bank volunteers load her trunk
Sobering all-season snapshot of the U.S....

Let me PAINT a picture of WORDS
Coloured in hues of EMOTION
My brush; PASSION breathing it life

The subject my CHOICE
The fine details my VOICE
My VIEW of true joy or of strife

SEE what Im seeing
FEEL what Im feeling
KNOW my empathic heart

Ill EXPRESS from my soul
All my TRUTHS as my goal
My POETRY, My LIFE in ART

Hallowed earthly spot
Friar's most sacred domain
Soulful presence felt
Impossible to ignore
Spiritual implication
Seeps into every fiber

Ancient Friary
One continuous prayer
Petitions in wind
Like whisper on subtle breeze
Rustling over silent grave
Empathic comprehension.

How I recall empathic tastes
Of winter frost,
And the bite of winds that railed against
The trees,
Dispersed with such unease
The deafening cries of those
Who loved and lost.

Mimicking in their jackboot stance
Upon the shore,
In the veil of mist, a carpet rolling in
The dawn,
The kettle whistle so forlorn,
The silenced tongues of those
Who loved no more....

The build of time and space,
the workings of suns and worlds. 
The vastness of creative mind,
the depth of the empathic heart.
To spread the light to far corners,
the urge of life travels the cosmos.
Illusions of the structure become,
the solidity of every true thought.
How powerful is the grand ruler,
to turn the loneliness into love,
and invite the entire universe?!...

She looked at my face
Searching for a smile
There's no hint of joy
Lonely in my eyes
Filled with my heartache

My dreams broken
My lover left
Walking away
Leaving me here

Who could love
Broken me
When I loathed

Myself
My sad

Self

Sacrifice obsession, this love 
This addiction shows 
Every blessing from above 
Descends, and mingles.

Insightful wisdom taking time
Affirm, empathic passion 
Taking over the mind 
This therapy session.

Brings the rawness of life 
Including separation. 
The drug that gives strife 
In sugar coated conversation.

Bring levity to discussion
Look in to sacrifice the obsession....

To be polypathic alone
in an anti-empathic
LeftBrain dominant culture
is, at best,
a mixed blessing,
strange grace.

To become ecologically
and bilaterally polyphonic
in a polyculturing nature-spirit healing environment,
is the blessing
of never being alone
and yet nearly always feeling cooperatively alone together
as co-arising EarthTribe,
sufficient to become healthier residents
of this Milky MidWay....

Moments pass away as distant church bells dirge;
their widow’s woe in windy waver trembles my tears.

Up the westward hill smoldering neath sunset’s pyre, I carry
the remains of our song in the broken beats of my being, yearning
to yield to burning skies and surrender to spiralling empathic embers.

Speaking from personal
and political
and economic
and social-equity experience

Empowering cooperative co-investments,
like businesses
and condominiums,
arrives slowly
yet more surely
through cooperative management experience

Robust
and resilient co-empathic tenure,
stretching unconditional regard
from enlightened win/win management
to co-empowering stewardship.

Sacred space
held together
more than excommunicating
secularized apart....

Even if in surging storm of sorrow your heart shears, 
nonchalant you may resolve to never again cry ever.
Time may melt your clouded mind in torrents of tears,
extracted by soft touch of solace in empathic endeavor.
Discovering there is some kind soul that silently bears
grief’s grinding load on your heart, you’d never say never.

Poetry
like unpartnered,
unteamed,
slow dancing

However rhythmically precise,
concisely devised

Does not dance well
in a highly competitive
youth-oriented 
commercial entertainment market

But,
does better
in cooperative venue voices,
disproportionately enthused by ancient women
investing in large-print choices,

Preferring off-line accessibility,
and not too expensive!

More deeply embedded
in soulful
left and right co-empathic
slow grown engagement....
