a whispered prayer

[setapart17]

we share the same ground
but to each other, not a line
sweet conversation replaced with
adoring guarded eyes
evident afection quickly denied
years passed and never a sign
can i judge your caution when it mirrors mine?
what is this?what keeps us apart?
what makes me stop in mid gesture you half smile
what quit's the outward impatience stills the heart
how can we share the same language
where the same fabric use the same water? who's to say
the money you hold has never been mine, how can
we breathe the same air. see the sky, admire the stars
be warmed by the same sun, love the same God
and never adress each other. is this right
is it true.is it real. is it fair.
in the night
a whispered prayer
