Comprehension Denied


She was
alone
with her books,
adrift
in thought,
a slight trembling
reverberating
through her limbs,

until he interrupted,
inquiring,

“Why do you read
him?

The chasm widened.

She felt him drifting away
again, back into
her shadows.

Her soul smoldered
through wide eyes,
then in a clear
voice,

with unmistakable emotion,
uttered,

“He makes me feel.

The chasm widened.
========================


much more than comprehension is denied...
but not the poetry...somethings are bigger than they could ever understand.

( you know that I know )

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.
We fell them down and turn them into paper that
we may record our emptiness.

If "he" really had the ability to "feel" the way she wants him to....he would understand. Then, maybe she wouldn't have to "feel" from somewhere else...

She makes me feel as well.  Understanding, however, is not as close as it seems.

Thank you.

(smiles) Oh my gosh, this speaks just like a soap opera dialogue, I can envision one saying with a mild frustration the first line and after a short pause the response is spoken in a serious tone! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
