Remind Them of Their Humanness - Sos

Delicate dream pinching me this morning
Urging me to go out among the people and reach them,
To teach them to open up their hearts and love each other

People are unfulfilled, because they are islands
Lost in the bowels of themselves, praying to electronic devices.
Sitting next to others who also have their gods in their laps

They are further apart than they have ever been.
No one touching, talking, speaking, or listening.
Delicate dream pinching me softly, urging me to enlighten them.

To remind them of their humanness, to enlist the sound of silence
So she can help me show them how to mediate, and mediate.
How to get back the inner peace, possibly restore their families.
