Two truths...

Our fingers know the taste of
all that changes.

We touch only temporary things.

And hold the dust of shattered memories in
hands that fail against the weight of
time.

Nothing belongs to the fingers.

Yet there is a deeper
truth.

That touch itself is
our existence.

And as the veils that fall between us
hang brief in their illusions.

This second truth remains for
us alone.

Oh my, this is the essence of poetic romance at it's very best.
Just beautiful, Ericc~

Nothing to do with your words Eric, which I enjoyed.

I saw something about the German Concentration Camps today on TV.

I worry that we as democratic countries are moving step by step, finger by finger, as we justify yet another step on the way.

I hope we dont ever consider people as objects to use and live from.
