To Be One

Speak in my dark night Color your quiet words without sight Touch my wide open eyes without tears, my mouth without tongue, No words, no sorrow, no cries leave your lips, no sound bounces around One time I walked, my words had volume, they were proud to share me The hollow sound will echo in my head, be savoured on my lips I came you went, nobody and everybody passed through me If you say I am, I will be again speak my name and I exist in you *** July 23, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

So deep and touching . It's good to come out strong and never allow your situation overtake the beautiful part of you. Our words must always have volume so that we can touch lots of lives positively. God bless you for this piece.

A truly intense poem, Darren. Emotionally evocative, such strength expressed thru the weakness of loss. Astounding poetry of much worth. Should be read by all in PSoup. An instant fave. Love and joy always.

Rumi said "silence gives answers." Sometimes we need to lose ourselves, to find ourselves.. That can be a big challenge, full of obstacles, physical, mental and psychological.. along the way we lose so much, sometimes we lose ourselves, but eventually we find who we really are. If others forget, then that is their loss.. Deep write my friend..

He exists in everyone, but some are blind to see. Your eyes are wide open and so is your heart to being made whole again. You can hear Him speaking, Darren.

The thing I wrote is from a piece called without me, at 10/30/2015. It is kind of like yours "to be one" mine is in the form of masnavi. Not too many people write in this from.
