did you pass me
in the chaos
-lost and alone-

because i swear i felt our souls

touch.

in the silence that followed
our words were the loudest
i had lived yours,
and
you, mine.

we grew
together
-while still so apart-

we ran
together-
away
from pain
from reality
from our emptiness

and on the way
i swear i felt our souls

touch
              others.


in the grace that followed
our hopes were the loudest
hopes for strength
for comfort
for rest

and when we could seek no longer
we flew
together
away

and on the way
i know
our souls
touched
the lost souls among us

our words have spoken to them

“you are no longer alone”
they say
“your home is here
live in our bodies
learn through our minds
love with our hearts

lost souls,
your home is here.
Friends Series 5th Poem

for the lost souls on DA who have found themselves through each other.

This poem is for all the friends i have made on DA over the past (almost) year, new and old i love you all. I have become close to many and hope to become closer to many more. You have all touched my soul in a way no one else could. Your words inspire me and leave me in tears. They help me to express myself when i can't. They give me closure and demand me to ask questions. It is amazing to me how so many writers from all over the world can connect through poetry. This poem is about the friendships and miracles that our poetry has given us.

I dedicate this especially to my first friends here who have made me a better writer by simply doing what they do best...
