What is empathy
Is it just a word
Written upon old paper
Forever lost in the wind
Do you hear it
When it screams
Or is it attached
Can you see it imprinted within the heart
What do you feel
As you watch another's tears fall
It is not pity
It is not compassion
It is a connection
That humbles the heart
An understanding without words
Without embraces
Without boundaries
Without laws
It is a reflection never shadowed
