Empathy holds a mirror up
to what is being felt,
not contradicting troubled claims
nor hastening to help,
but just reflecting back:
“It sounds like you are feeling x,
and I get it.” Empathy’s mirror
can relieve what it reflects.

That's a cool mirror and you got a great shot of the sky! I've really been enjoying your empathy poems this past week.
