Dawnings

let’s look at it another way

By Nicholas Hooper

from the side perhaps?
or from above?
but no
get close
so close
that we can see and feel
at the same time

the softness of a human mind
is not a bad thing
it is good to cry inside your eyes
and hold your own hand
and say, ‘I am here’
and say it for yourself
and see the dark and the light
and feel the pain and the joy
all at once
in an inexplicable wholeness
