Emeralds Of Empathy

She reads..eyes see
Mind wanders to
Places never seen
Across the Universe

She feels sunlight upon her
Warming her soul
Smiles as a snowflake
Kisses her cheek, a raindrop- cleansing

She dances 'round a fire
Embers glow bright
Golden orange- glow
Making her heart sing

Watching in awe she sees
A baby take it's first breath
Tears gather as she sees-
Babe taken too soon to Heavenly Gates

Neath' the twinkling stars
The wind carries her
With gentle ease
Across distant shores

Wind unwhirls - she is 
Planted upon solid ground
Frozen and cold
Feelings catch- someone's pain?

Pain stings-razor cuts
Bleeding upon her sleeve
Please, please there
Is another, yes, another way

Write it- write it
The pain, write it away
Press lead hard against paper
Strike the keys let words bleed it away

Within her she feels that ache
Of a first broken-heart
Pain so deep
Cutting like broken glass

The smell of daffodils-
She senses a first love
A first kiss , magical
As an eagle soars-lavender scattered skies

She reads, sees, feels
Feelings overwhelm
Seeing the Planet's beauty
Through the eyes of a poet

For those who see Nature
May it always be
Those who grieve
Tears pray dry in light of day

Young lovers, old
May love stay true, strong
Never may there be a wrong turn
Love is a gift, embrace

Young, old, happy, sad
Shine on- your colors are golden 
Your feelings are mine- through it all
Love transcends space and time 

Author's Note

Have been reading many wonderful poems/stories .. this is not grand but i wrote and writing something not so grand is better than nothing.. 'nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'..(song popped in) Wrote this with a house full of noisy people and barking dogs... sorry for the quality- i know it isn't stereophonic more mono . Still I take something with me from everything I read all your words they do touch me .. I see and feel ... thank you all .

So a year ago i wrote this - not much since.... someone tell me please how to rid one's self of writer's block??

i love this poem, i always write my pain away

[Quinn Blackburn]

Brilliant notes scattered across shadow, evocative, poignant, healing... a powerful and affirming piece that does not hide from it's own sharp edges. Spectacular work, dearheart! felt like a gentle touch directly to the heart.

This had sad overtones for me, in love a child was given only to be taken away so soon, yet love still transends grows and blossoms, can love truely conquer all?

Yhis is a fine poem, even coming from a crowded room, it shines

this was delightful..I felt the emotion..poets feel the world..we see colours where there is only grey, we hear songbirds over the rumble of traffic and we write with the blood of our hearts..

I had to stop by and comment on this wondrous piece. It has a kind of magical feel that I adore as I picture myself dancing amidst a blazing fire.....Earth and sun in perfect alignment.....feeling at one with the various elements that make us a unique individuals....yet united with each other.... You have brought just about every emotion into this cycle.....birth, life, love...pain....even death.... I'm truly overwhelmed with all sorts of feelings... Oh, yes, this is the dance....a grand one...indeed :-)

"Neath' the twinkling stars
The wind carries her
With gentle ease
Across distant shores"
This stanza just jumped at me! I really liked this piece though you doubt it's quality it has a lot of ups! And like Coyote i enjoyed the ending as well. This is truly a good piece. Stop doubting yourself...this was awesome!

"Love is a gift, embrace"
Your words took me on a very good field trip in your words. Love should be our best days. Need to hold tight when love is near. Can fade away if not appreciated and caressed. I like the ending to the excellent poem. Thank you.

Amazing Chloe. I disagree with you that you think this isn't grand. Personally I think that it is epic. Your word choices and the flow is so beautiful. I can't see how I would improve upon this poem. It feels like you wrote it from your heart. You did really well on this.
