Finding the Invisible

finding the invisible every one is a galaxy look into their eyes through the fog of fear and confusion with unknown things like meeting there is disbelief in an outstretched hand pain in the touch of greeting gently persistent proffer kindness, in a celestial glow hear, “How did you find me?” “How did you know, I was here.”

everyone is a galaxy.... that's a great metaphor. My favorite lines in this beautiful poem are "there is disbelief // in an outstretched hand // pain in the touch of greeting"

Yes I think we all suspect gentleness and kindness as a ruse to get something from us. That is why, I think, all of this hugging and air kissing. We don't have to look into the eyes. Oh well long story. Thank you for commenting in such a lovely way.

The ending is absolutely beautiful. The feeling of driting around in nothingness and to find a human that knows is ... exquisite. Well done Patricia

Jannie we are all invisible until discovered. It is our protection. You discovered me and I you and if should ever meet we would see each other, know our hearts as humans. Thank you.

Oh, I really enjoyed this write, such an intellectual, thought provoking poem, one that I loved reading this evening! You have delivered an awe inspiring piece of pleasant poetry, I just love digging into a remarkable poem such as yours! Just so you know, you are missing an "i" in "finding" in your title! Great Work!!

I am missing an eye in my head too. I am blind in my left eye and getting used to its limitations has been trying. So I thank you for looking out for me.
