Emprovise

To empathise 

To see the world through poets eyes 

To feel surprise 

To feel the world through poets sighs 

To waken to a clearer way to see 

The little hidden touches of a brush 

Highlighting what was missed in all the rush 

Perhaps a glint of hidden joy In eyes 

Of what was once a little boy 

Or just a telehug to ease a rift 

Re anchoring another set adrift 

To empathise

We could all use a little more empathy at times, I think. Sometimes taking a slower walk is better than a brisk one. I like that you used *telehug. I'm starting to see just a tad of technology in today's poetry. It isn't always easy to make it work but you did a fine job of that. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, friend.

Love this one....so true without empathy no writer's words are worth much since without empathy there is no heart, passion or anything that makes a poem worth reading, which this one clearly is.
