Listening to every heart

Why

words come forth through silence
hardly wit-filled, still, I write
if but to offer solace
or perhaps, a bit of light

words that only fill my soul
perhaps, that is their only goal
if but to offer solace
or perhaps a place to shoal

to search for them so charily
then put them forward warily
if but to offer solace
proffering some empathy

still that doesn’t clarify
why I write words that cry
in trying to offer solace
to find answers, is why I try

I can't even write this week, and I am asking this with you. Thanks, Kari, and take care.

Very nicely said.  I believe that is the most asked but unanswered question this week. Why?

Me too - just write whatever comes up to somehow make someone, somewhere feel better, and perhaps it might help me to feel better too.  I can not move on, so I write, and write.  Boy, do i understand this one sis!

Thank you, K - Perhaps I'm having difficulty writing simply because I rarely write from pain, but from hope... I'll get there - with a little help from my friends...
