Empathy, Come!
One
day
I found
my way home:
carved path through brambles
uncluttered by potholes and traps.
One
day
I found
my heart's path:
circuitously
routed through land mines of false words.
One
night
I set
my life's goal:
evoke emotions
and give you permission to feel.
One
night
I knew
why that goal:
once you feel your pain
understanding others' begins.

Glad I stopped back before logging off.
You really do like fibs! But, you do them so well. These trace the emotional path beautifully. :)
Brian - it was only meant to be the first one, but I could not stop myself. They usually almost pop out, but I had to work at the last couple to get what I wanted. I love NaPoWriMo: any excuse to write. Thank you, Brian.
Marcia my writer friend. I always enjoy your poetry. You have a talent to say a lot in few words---something I know you've worked hard on :)) Whether it is a lot of words or a few words doesn't matter. The words you use are the best words and send a meaning to the reader.
Chris - I have to laugh, as you were posting your comment on how hard I had worked at fewer words, I was posting a wordy, off-the-wall, more-is-less poem. We knew it would sneak back in. LOL. Thank you for commenting, before my downward slide.
I like this poem; it strikes me visually and also the content. Very nice and thank you for sharing your work.
Quietpaths - I was unsure about leaving it left justified or centering each one, glad now, I centered it. Thank you for commenting.
I really enjoyed this poem. Beautiful imagery and flow! You have quite a way with fibs! ;)
