Inches apart yet worlds away
we hide behind invisible walls
all the while yearning to know and be known.
The cure for isolation is connection,
we peel the layers of our contradictions.
Mysteries of human nature
swirling in cosmic conundrum
inspire a silent prayer
for uncomplicated hunger
that bread and wine can satisfy.

Beautiful. Thank you Belinda for satisfying my own hunger for something of substance this morning!
Beautifully spoken and so true….love this Belinda!!
You are right about connection … sad when people have a difficult time making one.
Love this, Belinda.
I believe we all live to find validation. Most of us yearn to be affirmed. Beautiful language.
Beautiful as usual.
With social media, we are more connected than ever. But does that mean action? I wonder if there are statictics that show the correlation.
The cure for isolation is connection,
we peel the layers of our contradictions.
true that…we hold our answers yet…
A loaded poem – amazing how few words say so much depth! I join you in a prayer for “uncomplicated hunger” in both our connections and in the reality of meeting needs of those that are hungry right now.
