A Curious Response 3/5/07


A hug.
A simple gesture.
A world of light somehow sparks in my eyes.

Tears roll like logs down a mountain.
The sky releases the sun through
departing dark clouds.

I have been engulfed in a war.
What I should be and what I am
are at fierce odds.
Yet, one act of pure emotion has sent me
to a place I had long forsaken.

Why I was placed on this earth has long eluded me.
Human touch has felt alien lately.
I've always had self doubt.
My center has been off.

A warm embrace of appreciation has ignited
my place in this world.
A fire has lit my soul to the core.
Although it's been said before I will
repeat it.

It's nice to feel loved.
To touch someone so deeply
it takes a part of you?
How do you fathom that?

Comprehend that which is invisible.
It's a unique high.

Have I made a difference in this universe?

The stars have stories to tell, the moon
is shy, the sun needs prodding.

I used to think I was wandering on this
land, stumbling, hoping and begging
for an early end.
It turns out I have a purpose.
I know what I am, and that takes
an awful weight off my shaking shoulders.

It's funny...a simple hug gave me that comfort.
A simple hug...
inspiration is just around the corner
