August Autumn
So near… yet so far…
Within reach but beyond touch…We can talk , yet not speak
We can understand but grasp not the meaning
Your voice I heard, yet you spoke not a word
Guess it was just my heart I heard
What then is the use of two pairs of lips
If they just do not speak to each other?
What is the use of two pairs of eyes
If they do not throw each other a gaze?
What then is the use of hands
If they just do not warm each other’s palm?
What are two pairs of ears for
If they do not listen to each other’s pains?
Better are two hearts that do not beat for each other
They can still beat the same rhythm with others meant for them,
Than those heart who beat for each other
but do not know they beat as one…
Truly, one senses the other’s sadness
One knows when to lift the other up
One lost is carried by the other home
One gives hope when the other loses it….
But why can’t we just break out…speak out.. shout out…
and admit out loud…?
we have only one thing in mind - each other
