The reason for stars

In endless space
we float
Everyone of us..
Incased in our own
private translucent
sphere
Slowly we move through
time like molasses in
a thick impenetrable
void
I can see you through my
sphere but I cannot touch
you and you cannot touch
me
There are billions of us
ocassionally bumping one
anothers spheres and moving
in whatever direction..
We are lost in time if there
is such a thing
Perhaps we have measured time
by our pain but it doesn't
matter
What matters is that we have
awakened to a consciousness
finding ourselves imprisoned
in this elastic sphere that
shall float in a suspended
sea of eternal blackness..
From our spheres we can only
hear one another in inaudible
tones..
I see your tears..
I feel your fears..
I can only cry out these words
to you..'I love you,' and when
I speak those words an intense
light radiates from within your
sphere and you become a star!

An imaginative write about how we are separated from each other and how our lives bump occasionally, if lucky, to transform and be transformed. Even when in love we are enclosed in the prison of everyday life, circumstances, distance, what not! We can do nothing, but watch each other with longing and attempt to get our voice through the barrier, and when and if we succeed we have love as a reward of love lighting souls. Enjoyed the poem very much, many thanks for sharing! hug bouquet
