Why I Ache With You But Do Not Fear I see spirit, When I look at you as you have I see it always known; of course; when I look at you I know your shape, with other eyes see your wounds it hovers reflected in the like a shimmering shimmeringness, heat on heat mirage, surroundingness, the dark and light the light and dark that flow within you. that flow within you. And now In this, in your souldark time the soulless dark you shine you have become as if you held a crystal lamp, a lamp within. so brightly burning. For a friend who has many reasons not to smile, but found one today in spite of everything. |

Ed Empathy is not always easy, especially when looking at dark stuff...I think you must have a beautiful spirit, to see the way you do. This is such a lovely poem! ![]() |
