Connected

When we are connected

Deep in my heart my spirit aligns

As I feel sunshine

Illuminating the dark spaces

Of my mind

Where illusions festered

Turning dark

As tinged by memories of times past

Where all I met

Was hostility or an empty gaze

Of eyes turned opaque to feeling

Sending my essential self

Spiralling into an abyss

Of nothing

Reeling in my energy field

How different when we 

Find our consciousness

Connecting over time

Sensing how refined it feels

To be in the company of someone who 

Is just open to us and understands

And is willing to lend a helping hand

One who never makes us feel

The price of being connected

Is too much
