echoes of stones

(for p)


do you ever wish
you could reach out and touch someone
lay your fingers on their face
as if to say
i know you are alone in there
i feel the same?

do you ever feel a chasm
a prison?
i do.

but what am i
echoes of stones
thrown down a well
unreal
still i feel.

do you ever feel you are spinning
slowly
your own planet
lost in a universe
just above zero
never a home?

i can hear a river
slow and steady
i do not know
which sea it fills

i can hear rain
creating our oceans
i do not know
which drop is me.

never a home?

Home wasn't built in a day.

I am not sure that the task of building a universe is one that I'm up to, but your confidence in me is quite touching.
