We never

A Poem by Netty

We always talk about the things we've never seen and never do....

WE never understand
the whisper of the wind
the way it moves right through us
sending chills dancing on our skin

We've never really seen
the sun as it begins to rise
the dawning of a new day
the fresh start that is derived

We never doubted
that first tender kiss
the one that takes our breath away
the one that makes us forget

We never really heard it
the way our children first cry
the pain and anxiety
that they are really alive

Of all the things we never notice
let this one be true
True love is a mystery
it haunts the inner you

This love is so decieving
and we long for it so much
to have that internally intimacy
that we sometimes find in a strangers touch

But no matter the person you lay
it will never be replaced
it's a silent moment
thats stops all time and space

It's a single piece of glitter
falling from the sky
it's a shooting star late at night
it's there and gone in the blink of an eye

One day you will notice
the rain on the ground
you'll see the waves crashing
it won't be a fleeting sound

That day you'll hear a hummingbird
fluttering it's wings
you'll hear the sound crickets
as they play their symphony.

Instead of focusing on the nevers
be patient for that day
the day your true love comes
and steals your heart away

The list could be just beginning
Your world will start to change
they won't always be easy
but I promise....
They Will Never Be The Same!
