Unwrapped

Poem from 2008

..

.. Current mood:  indescribable Category: Writing and Poetry .. If I came wrapped in a shinier package Would you pay more attention to me? Would you heed my noise emissions To capture your attention? Millions of souls online Yet so many lonely   Would you recognize my soul's voice If I screamed at the top of my lungs? If my language was so articulate That you would gasp awestruck at its profoundness?   .... Could I reach your heart If I had more answers Perhaps just more questions? Was exciting beyond measure? Had traveled the world and could Revel in intricately spun tales Of adventures to the Never Never   .... If I were a spiritual giant Knew the key to the spirit Of Enlightened wisdom For life's conudrum's The why's the wherefore's  If I knew the alpha and omega personally I was his inside man Then would you listen?   .... Yet that is not reality My voice is small and frail Not powerful As my age advances I fade My language is simple from the heart My spirit's arm's stretching out to touch your soul For joyful intimate connection   .... Not expecting perfection Just an answering Echo echo Upon occasion Letting me know There are kindreds That you care That I spill myself out In these words
