I may be following
or perhaps ahead
but I’m here, always here,
and not yet dead
to the birth of heartache
in one not yet of age.

The young and the old;
how special the day
when love paves the way
for the exchanging of pain
and as empathy joins
two breaking hearts
the bond between souls
is confirmed and defined
and remains forever
inviolate.

The physical showing
of love’s empathy
in the touching of arms,
bodies, cheeks, tears,
lights a candle beneath
the healing process
and lays a foundation
for honesty’s growth.

But to be like a man
on the sidelines withdrawn
from the cause and effect of it all
leads only to isolation
and no true companionship
in the forever and permanent world
of the spirit community …
perceived to be real
by the magic in me!
