Empathy-(Ali We Salute)

In memory of a poet who rhymed in style and in kind, this poem draws on the importance of being empathetic; the ability to reach out and respect others is the greatest rope a dope tactic; it draws you

Empathy

Oh hi! Oh no! The seeds...we sow

The highs, the lows, those smiles...Hello’s

You cry, you sigh, and you cross the snow

Love, able froze. It’s who you know

 

You shout so loud, its touch and go

To love so much, you reach from low

The bruise, the heart, and the clues they mount

Don’t you give in, you’d never win

 

To see the good, to empathise

To choose, to tow, not kick and fight

To love takes faith, comes from on high

To lose the will that never dies

You could...Please try...Let’s talk...But why?!

Love’s strange...So learn...Take heart...and know

I love you still...I love the strife

Simple and clear...my peace means life

 

We touch, we go, we’re loose, oh no!

You hit the part where good is dark!

I’ll hit the road or close the doors

The world is mine...to stay/to go
