Ethereal Ties

When spirits meet in flesh at last
what do our senses feel.
Do ethereal links hold true and fast
or do they seem unreal?

If truly you connect in thought,
you’ll meet a friend you know.
For knowing comes from heart and soul
and knowledge doesn’t show.

Alas, too oft we judge by looks,
a book read by it’s cover.
Is that the reason why in life
some never find true lover?

The inner soul, the real you
is not for all to see.
It’s for the ones who take the time,
to let their thought flow free.

Our senses lie, and it’s a fact
whatever we behold.
Is normally only what’s on show,
to get the item sold.

So listen to the silent words
within each others head.
For ethereal ties are bonded
by the words you never said.

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

If this isn't truth, then someone needs to show me what truth is... you have told a truth, surely.

"Our senses lie, and it’s a fact
whatever we behold.
Is normally only what’s on show,
to get the item sold"


Here, you have hit the proverbial nail squarely upon its little proverbial head!

Congrats on this - it is excellent!

Ivor,
You have kicked up some dust that very few see. Enjoyed the read.

Than you for your replies and my apologies for my delay in responding.  Too many people are too quick to judge.  I have aways found eyesight a barrier to really seeing.
