Has something moved you
recently?
Has someone shared some news
told a story
written a poem
Which touched you in your emotional state?
Have you allowed yourself
to feel?
Have you taken the time to remember
that not everything is a game?
Have you felt the sting in your eyes,
The pain in your nose
The need to give in and cry?
Have you seen a thing of beauty
Have you noticed a moment of peace?
In a world given to apathy
are you willing to feel?
Are you willing to change the spelling
turn a-pathy to em-pathy?
Do you take the time to enjoy the sun?
To feel the rain?
To embrace the world?
Has something moved you lately?
Was it real?
Will it fill your personal void?
This piece is inspired by two things. One, the wonderful eulogising of a reporter who never gave up. Two, a list of poems in a blog I follow. I wouldn’t say this is a perfect reflection of the feeling, but it is what I have for now.
