"LifeDreams"

When my mind's eye,
takes your words into consideration,
after the passage of time,
the moments weaken in thought,
from the past memories,
and I then struggle to understand,
your meanings, which are sometimes lost to me.

I touch the words as they escape my lips,
I taste their sweetness,
and feel my chest rise, as I exhale a sigh.
Touched when you are touched,
Watching your words appearing,
wondering if they are meant for me,
or all eyes on here...

And when I write my words
I am hoping that to you, all of you
there is an understanding,
a feeling of sameness, knowing
that at one time in the past...
or maybe come the future, if not today,
that you feel just a touch of what I feel,
taste the sweet or bitterness of my day,
and leave with my words knowing that
we are all "one" in this world,
and each word spills over, forming a river
flowing into an even wider ocean of thoughts.

MMoonchild,
A story you tell with this writing of yours, and very nicely done. Very nice indeed.

For all to be one is an admirable idea to hold to. And to gain an understanding of how this could be done is somewhat impossible. I love your poem and the deep feelings expressed. Thank-you.

......
Contemplative indeed!

Ah such thoughts when they occur, its best to put them to words so that they then become reminders and pointers to lead this life... great work, Maureen...

regards,
sudhir

Maureen, you summed up the fledgling hope of every poet...

And when I write my words
I am hoping that to you, all of you
there is an understanding

Wonderful write, m'lady,

You have a remarkable talent for flow, the poem speaks intead of needing to be read, if you understand what I mean.
The words "speak" it's the most wonderful kind of poem, in my opinion.
