There is an unseen ability,
In the ability to unsee,
As one person looks at another,
Not acknowledging their words,
Not reading their feelings,
As if they were not there.
On our phones we see the world,
Missing the birds in the trees,
Missing the souls on the streets,
Not seeing lightning from the clouds,
While beneath an endless sky,
Where dreams were once made real.
Yet on the chance two souls meet,
Through the windows of the eyes,
The spark ignites a fire,
Which draws others from the darkness,
Setting them aglow,
Turning the night into day.
Yet seeing invites joy,
Seeing evokes pain,
For only the heart can see truly,
Which pushes back the boundaries,
Expanding the universe of possibility,
Giving others hope.
The fear of connecting,
Is only an illusion,
Whereas being alone in life,
Is the true darkness,
Since God gave us each other,
And no one manages alone.
