Connection

What we all look for, and what makes us gravitate towards each other.

It’s all we want,

It’s all we yearn for,

It’s all we look for,

And wish to possess.

Reveling through the highs,

Drowning through the lows,

Searching…looking for signs,

Looking for answers,

To age old questions,

Of purpose, of will,

Of destiny,

And pre-ordained fate.

Why are we here?

Who are we?

Who are you to me?

And I to you?

Why do I see your face,

When I close my eyes?

Why do the sound,

Of wuthering winds,

And calming gentle breezes,

Remind me of your hearty laughs,

Your mischievous, carefree will,

And benevolent whispers?

Do you feel what I do?

Do you see what I do?

Yet…

Why do we try to see,

And analyze,

All that we don’t share,

All that makes us different?

The differences set our
distances.

Allows us to be our
own lost strangers.

Lost in our own loneliness,

When all we really want,

Is that thread that binds,

The strength that joins,

And breaks down,

All these man-made walls,

And,

That connection that bonds,

Me to You.

wow.
wow...
wow! this explains me and my siblings to a T! We are ALWAYS over-analyzing our relationships. We really do become "our own lost strangers" sometimes... not even knowing what we ourselves want, yet expecting others to have a plan of their own. In the end though, it always comes back to the obvious yearning, "When all we really want is that thread that binds, The Strength that joins, And breaks down, All these man-made walls, And, That connection that bonds.."
So beautiful.
Couldn't have said it better!

Its a good poem. It sort of reads as a rant, like a lover talking desperately to another, which adds to the effect. Good job. It is an inspired poem.
