One of our fave road trip songs was Rocky Top TN; we spent some time at Gatlinburg one winter and hiked that portion of the Appalachian trail towards NC. 🕊️🙏🏻

This poem breaks me—the cold, the cancer, the ghost of \'Ma\' answering a phone that never rings. Grief lives in the spaces between your words. Stunning and sorrowful.

There are so many good things that are just never seen. Some of my best poems are never read, my best artwork never seen, the best parts of me hidden away...

I like this piece. We should all have empathy for others. Empathy lets people know that they are not alone in their pain. Keep writing.

Shakey chose some daft names for people, and verges on daftness at times I think. Not all his sayings are wise. Not that I\'ve read his Complete Works! lol.
I wish KP never saw the light of day, but she does. She never hibernates. heehee.

On reading your title I imagined this could be about me! 🤣 Indeed I too reflect on the fact that those greats had a platform even if for some it was in their afterlife. Wow this is a wonderful piece 👏 🌹

The poem inspires us to ponder the nature of greatness and existence, illuminating that the genuine value of something shines brightest in its recognition and profound impact on others. It prompts us to reexamine the essence of greatness when it is not celebrated or cherished. It reminds us that art and beauty flourish when shared with others.

Your poem says a lot in just a few lines—it\'s a powerful reminder that even the greatest things can be forgotten if no one sees them. Simple, deep, and true.

Soman Ragavan said:
“Can they hear the drops of tears?...” Tears are the product of suffering. The cause of the suffering might be loud, but tears themselves are noiseless...
Similarly in the next line, there is the splash of pain. Both tears and pain are the product of suffering.
“the flavor of a broken dream?...” “ this is sure a poetic way to describe the characteristic of a dream.
“I like walking in the rain, because nobody can see my tears.”
--Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977)

A lovely write around the subject so lacking these days, genuine empathy towards living things. The one good thing that ever came out of my childhood is I have always cared and had empathy for other\'s, especially those less fortunate. Have never understood the justification of some people\'s lack of empathy to others due their childhood, it should make you care because you understand and have been there, if I didn\'t have empathy I could be a mass murderer and justify it on my past. Well needed and meaning write

Friendship said:
Well written,Soren,At times, I\'m very guilty of lacking empathy; I catch myself after the fact, and it\'s not acceptable, yet I do it; I\'m just as guilty as others.
Your poem \"Empathy\" explores the importance of emotional sensitivity and awareness in understanding the pain and struggles of others. It prompts readers to reflect on their ability to perceive the suffering around them and cultivate a deeper sense of empathy. You seem to revolve around sensory experiences—hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, and tasting—as metaphors for emotional awareness. The poem contrasts the beauty of positive experiences with the often overlooked or ignored pain and suffering that people endure. Your poem aims to inspire readers to cultivate empathy and to become more attuned to the emotional experiences of those around them, prompting a deeper understanding of shared human struggles.

A beautiful reminder of empathy, unfortunately not everyone has this life tool, putting ones feet in the shoes of another to really see and feel is a true gift and life lesson, to those who acknowledge the world of another human. 🌹
