There Are Souls Aching To Feel

there are souls aching to feel
every solid second of every 
solid day

there are footprints on the 
chests of many who help in
their own way to define life

there are magic lamps shiny
and new that are many 
lifetimes old

unseen and unnoticed, said 
lamps, unbeknownst to them,
have many relatives they will
never ever meet
