Kindred

A close and dear friend is feeling lost and I too find myself in feeling the same a bit with empathy by guided path.

It was the silence between

Every word shared

That tore him in two

Not knowing how

The day had been

What woes she faced

Strong as she was

Her time away

A deep stain

On his very soul

His kindred match

The anchor held

When storms brewed

Yet in turn

He too

Wanted to help

Her see her worth

What his eyes

Could see so true

Yet this silence

Kindred

As they may be

Kept him wondering

Sleepless nights

Wanting it all better

Deserving of that

She was to him

And yet unable

To change the fates

He still tried

Worried and fret

Over the tears unseen

The ones held deep

About a lacking smile

Not adorning her face

His kindred feeling lost

Yet so close

To his very soul

He would think

Kindred dear

How are you

What can I do

What can I be

To bring some joy

To a kindred soul

Tied so tightly

To his own

Excellent job- this poem is almost romantic in it's feeling. You bring up the feeling of empathy with breathtaking skill. Excellent job!

I got a similar response from the beautiful soul that sparked this - she was moved by this and was surprised that I wrote this in a matter of minutes. Sometimes when you just let it all go the way it wants to, you get results like this.
