Listening to every heart

0 posted 2005-05-18 11:22 AM



Day Long Hands

long and hard
came reflections
in-between

the up and down
of this day

soft and smooth
should have been
flow
of loving thoughts

but
short and swift
were moments

interludes of time

breathless

left her breathless
they came too fast  
left too quick
myriad thoughts and
pain

pain hurts

absent from body
but renders the
mind useless

never seen
but words touched
then the heart
broke

pain hurts

what does
care
look,

feel like?

I would put a
stamp on care
and send it direct

bypassing hands

straight to your heart

if it would
take the
pain
away
from you

if I could

I would…

long and hard
this day has been
long and hard
and difficult of dream

distant on the
wind of keen
I heard long the
scream of scoria
~ suffering ~
seeking out the
next victim

and I went
to see, to hear,
to hold,
quietly listen,

even though
all that
could be offered
was a
helping hand

I'm sure you do this, with or without a stamp!  Such a dear, sensitive person you are!

sometimes, a helping hand, is like a 4 million dollar house...warm and full of compassion...as yourself, as your poems, in touch with all connections...

Wonderfully written and felt

The world needs such people as you are.....because you are the essence of this poem. You make things right when they can't be made right, somehow repair what is broken beyond fixing.
