Someone, Somewhere

pots-and-pans

Somewhere far away

Someone is crying

Or laughing

Or sleeping

 

Someone

Somewhere

Has just closed their eyes

For the very last time

 

A person just cracked their phone

Or saved their child from an oncoming car

Or didn't

Not in time

 

It's very easy to feel lost

A single heartbeat

Among millions

Stopping and starting as seconds pass

 

Someone has just died

While giving birth

A life making way for another

The cry of a newborn replacing that of a parent

 

But here you are

And here I am

You, reading

Me, writing

 

Someone

Somewhere

Did something that will never affect you

Or might

 

This moment is yours

And yours alone

Cherish it

The clock will never stop

    Thanks for sharing "P & P" ~ a very reflective and prospective poem ! We are all interconnected (and always have been) in a "World Wide Web" (visible and invisible) of human interaction 7.5 billion of us ! As you say "You're writing and I'm reading (hundreds of miles apart) but more than that ~ I am also COMMENTING and saying "how much I enjoyed your poem" and you might respond back ~ also read my Poem (on SNOW) it's a chain reaction and in this way we reach hundreds of people every day. "No Man or Lady is ever an Island" especially in the CYBER AGE ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
