"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 --------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 04-14-2000).] |

This is pretty darn good my friend. Joel. I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

An empath a beautiful creature loved this poem really very much Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. |

From a heart who has heard all of her life "you are too sensitive" "you are too emotional" "you are too giving" this was exactly what I needed to keep going. It was beautiful. Kathleen |

Sven, This is Wonderful, much needed right now. Thank you for posting and sharing. Daniel The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Sven, Great poem....I enjoyed it very much. "She" is lucky to have such a caring friend. I love the layout too. Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

I bet she gad the biggest smile on her face while reading it... I'd pay money to see it-- how bout you?  great poem Sven, truly. take care, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
