Loss There are no words to tip the scale When you are swallowed, by a whale And the light of day turns to night Without a reason wrong or right A piece of you were cut and drawn A piece of your heart was shorn. And the hurt has pierced your soul Placed a stone upon your goal. Every whispers, whispers why As acid rain falls your eye Madness echoes out in call Through a dark and empty hall Empathy is but a word A cup of sorry that is heard But the silence will be felt And all the anger must be dealt. For life has no guaranty And even less fraternity All will bow eternal change Even though we deem it strange. So bend my friend, weather and bend We’re all together, in the end. |

There are no words to tip the scale When you are swallowed, by a whale but VERY close, sy...very close. Your generous spirit wept in word in this. Hugs. |

Seymour darling boy your words of so much compassion and heart seem to pierce the fog that clouds the soul with a ray of empathy. You’ve written Loss as no other can, thank you for this. You always manage to convey to my heart the exact feeling it wishes to express but is unable to do so. I am simply unable to express the deep feelings of compassion and empathy in a way that would indicate how much I feel this. So I’ll simply say Amen to this and thank you darling boy.   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Empathy is but a word A cup of sorry that is heard But the silence will be felt And all the anger must be dealt.

So bend my friend, weather and bend We're all together, in the end. ===================================== So many times now...your words have been a lesson in humility and humanity.... this is an exquisite example of both. and the reasons of why this poem comes to be, is born of your compassion and tender "touchless touch" ...that has come to mean so much.

Every whispers, whispers why As acid rain falls your eye Madness echoes out in call Through a dark and empty hall Empathy is but a word A cup of sorry that is heard This is so powerful and so poignant... you've described the indescribable ache that threatens sanity and the smothering helplessness against sorrow... and done so beautifully. |
