    Touchstone

    We'll come around to it
    beyond many years
    of casting our shadows
    deceived by our fears

    It circles the edges
    we tend to avoid
    a semblance of union
    tinkered and toyed

    still, fated to wander
    together... alone
    wondering how we can rise
    through touchstones

    Yes, that's true, whether a mark is left or even a scar, it is the spark that makes it happen. Thank you for coming by and for your comment. ~Peace

    Touchstones, crossroads, and others bends in the road ahead lead us onward, but to where...from one wanderer on this journey to another...this is a soulfully shared work...

    Yes, the key word here being, "should"... therein lies the problem... Thanks for taking the time to read this and for your comment. ~Peace

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
