Touch Points

Our lives
That flow directionally
That rhythmically dis-enable pause
which absence disaffects our vision
distances our presence
Leaves us obtrusively reactive

Our differences 
That comprise our completion
That obscure our Human fabric
whose mantle of sameness
is woven by the spirit of time 

Our Pain 
whose inert rise 
diffuses our nobility into non-movement 
and solitary loss

Our spirit
Innate and lost
Accessible 
Available
Ignored

Our selves
Soar and roar
Only if with others
Enlivened by simple gestures 
Whose measure encompasses the continuum of time

Our prayer
Bleeds despair
Seeks comfort
Acknowledges silence of fear
And the sounds of truth
Beseeched by memories eternal
Fall prey
To the wisdom of false pride

What a remarkably insightful poem, Eduard! Indeed, we seem to "soar" best when surrounded by others. Welcome to Poetry Soup! I look forward to seeing more of your poetry. Best wishes, Carolyn
