~. mummers masquerade.~

By NikesRain

~

we speak without words
reaching out with our hearts
searching with broken dreams
for that one reply
that's spoken silently
with eyes soft
hands scarred but open
with

.i know.

~

our voices trapped in sighs
moving with quiet grace
through walls within hours
anxious but patiently looking
for the one gaze
that locks on gently
recognition upon our palms
with

.i know.

~

so it goes
on and on
and

.i know.

another feels
how i dance
within

loving this ,its hard to explain but something breaks when the repeating line ".i.know." hits so softly but with the weight of a freight train

A former member wrote: hmmmm such understanding, compassion... empathy... such a gift... in this world.... to meet one other that can share so deeply. In a world where friendship has been diluted into a picture on a screen, a name on a list, an intrigue without integrity... to find just one... to be this close... *sighs* thank you for such tender hopefulness.
A former member wrote: I really love the title as well as the structure. Awesome inspiration by the way!
