Otherness

Bryso

I touch but cannot feel.

I listen but cannot hear.

I look but cannot see.

I reach out but cannot grasp.

I am.

But you are.

    Very well done. Interesting twist in the last line. Loved it but not sure i understood it.

      Thanks, Garry. Just really a reflection on the fact that, while we are social beings and reach out to one another, we're also always alone within ourselves. I think there are times when we're more aware of this 'otherness', but hopefully it's not a constant state!

        I like it, that sort idea is a common theme in my poems, who and why are we and how we "work" with other people. Sometimes it's a bit too well hidden!
