I bowed my head in the sun
so it might warm you in the dark.
I dipped my heart in your wound
so it might soak up your pain.
I plunged my hands in the water
so it might dissolve our confusion.
I inhaled the wisdom of the ages,
so its kiss, through me, might
lighten what you carry.
A Question to Walk With: Describe your experience of feeling another’s pain and how you tried to lighten their burden.
This is from my book of poems, Elsewhere.
