there was nothing tangible
not now not ever
reality dwells beyond the stars

perception is a myth
the suffering are simply mistaken
only their thoughts hurt them

true love is a shared experience
as it always was and always will be
but not through a computer screen

this is only my best approximation
a poet struggles to find the words
the feeling is beyond description

words are symbols of symbols
twice removed from reality
we live beyond the stars

I don't smoke marijuana, Yoni, but it is the only effective treatment for my ulcerative colitis so I wish I had access to THC tablets to relieve the pain when I have attacks. I do understand and appreciate your point of view. I have just seen a lot of people suffer needlessly. Love, Carolyn

Yes, Yoni, all we have are words and symbols that cannot begin to approach the feelings associated with true love. Nice to see you here again, even though I will be leaving. Love, Carolyn
