Poem Commentary

Written for a friend of mine...

I want to reach out...

I want to reach out,
Haven't seen you in so long,
You're here,
In front of me,
You're sad,
Eyes full of tears,
Let me help you,
I scream,
Yet my lips don't move,
I want to help,
I stay yet,
I watch you fall,
Clatter to the ground,
And there I am,
Lying beside you,
Cold yet warm,
The ground beneath your face,
Rest,
Rest at last,
Sleep gentle one,
Until the moon again rises,
And calls to us.

That silent scream seems to prevail a lot in my history.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
