Others Feelings Touching Me Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Watching other people with a discerning eye, noticing
everything as they pass by.

Body language and expressions telling me what I need
to know with their gestures being an added bonus.

Feelings intensely touching me within, knowing their
sadness and grief, tears falling within in silence.

Recognizing emotions quietly seething within another
individual empathically.

Compassionate and caring, stopping to relieve the
suffering of others for moments in time.

Allowing me to identify some of what I'm feeling and
releasing it also.

A give and take throughout life with people I don't
even know.
