People die

You
I
Whoever
Unknown to us
Is next in line

The sun
Rises over the sea
A mountain or a thing
Equally to some pedestrian

And no one comments
In their reverie

Where is Harry?

I don't know how to respond to this one, other than I feel inadequate when it comes to blindness and invisibilty. They often feel interchangeable. Interesting trafficing, here...and very somber.

this is one of those poems you read that touch you but you're not sure how to comment on it - the truth of it is what touched me - well penned.

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe
