"She feels too much" some people would say Sometimes, it's all she can do to get through the day But wherever a soul is troubled, or a heart is in need She holds up the light and proves to be a true friend indeed The pain, sometimes, can take a heavy toll Sometimes, she really wonders if her heart will ever be whole Her body showing the ravages of the pain May never ever in this life be healed ever again She prays at night to not drink from that cup But daily it is served to her sometimes she is forced to sup The beast rules her life, so it would seem She wonders if the happiness she seeks is only just a dream Come and be healed, gentle empath Lay your pain at the feet of one who also practices the craft He will heal your pain and give you reason to live So that you may keep being a light to others and still have a heart to give ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Wow.  I enjoyed this poem. It was sad with a touch of hope at the end. A familiar feeling. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

I have never read anything as beautiful as this. I've been trying to find these very words for another practitioner of "the craft". I would love to share this masterpiece with her. With your permission, of course. This one brought a tear to my eye. Thank you. Love is the law, love under will. |

Sven I loved it in dark when you wrote it for me, and it was a joy to mosey over to open and see it again. I still love it and so glad you shared it with open too, for it is definitely worth sharing. Namaste between too similar empaths and spirits.. *hugs* Isis *Friendship is a horizon - which expands whenever we approach it...* ~Isis~Goddess~~Sovereign of the Spirit~ |

jlocke, thank you. . . I am glad that these words touched you. . . please share this with your friend, and know that there are others of us who, as empaths, share ourselves and our "craft" with the world. . . Isis, thank you my friend. . . I know that you and I share this feeling. . . and I thought that it would be a wonderful poem to share with everyone here. . . Empaths are very interesting people. . . perhaps you know one. . . ---------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
