Listening to every heart

Deep Within

Deep
within the soul
the silent longing is there,
painfully,
woefully stubborn,
making it
hard to breathe
even to take
a deep breath.

A sensation of “reaching”
there,
down deep, holding on
to the mind’s
most fleeting thought,
discarding even love,
for a brief answer
to sweet agony.

How best to resolve
this indisputable emotion,
that which centers
itself
into a pit of desire,
not for love,
itself,
but for a brief sharing,
bidding
one's self well.

I know the answer,
for it has always been
within me,
but there are times
when I fail
to impart a sense
of urgency,
and the failure
pains me.

It is somewhat like
that faint, lonesome strain
of one violin,

sweet, pure, fine,
a lingering note,

reaching out for
one other to hear,
to understand,

knowing its
beauty in its
loneliness.

To share so much
so that another
is touched
by the rare beauty
of tender words,
this lingering feeling

still

doesn’t

let

me

breathe.

Utterly...utterly....beautiful.

The only appropriate words are...

....thank you for this hymn of human grace.

No doubt the well is clear so deeply down.
There are no words for this one...beyond.
