I have been blessed through out the years
by kin and strangers alike who have caught my tears
Who have gave me strength; eased my fears. . .
Into their basin of unconditional love supreme . . .
and turned those tears so magically
into a blessing; making sad eyes gleam
who have turned nightmares into dreams . . .
All webs in life are weaved together
we all are one; from begining until forever
though we may be close or lightyears apart
our actions send endless waves rippling to all hearts
So often we may not realize
What we do and say travel endless miles
When we feed the hungry; or simply give a smile . .
However we relate to our fellow man
is chain reacted across the land and back again
Thus far I’ve been blessed beyond compare
From the whole of humanity, timeless; everywhere
And so I feel compelled to pass on a blessing
to aide humanity in not regressing
into the darkness of separation and instinct
because were’re all connected by a common link
So though you may be close or very far,
your light warms humanity like a distant star
Without you there would be no me
Thus, I’m grateful for your being, eternally
For the love you share, I say UBUNTU
I am what I am because of all of you!
Sun brings forth life as a distant star
As such, I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE!

Thanks for snapping me out of a dark mood. “The darkness of separation”, as you put it. Your poem made me think about what it means to be alive, and about the freedom we have to choose the way we feel.
“…there are things that hurt a lot more than pain—the belief that one is alone, for instance, separate from others and from God.”

High MM. Sometimes we need something or someone to “snap us out of the darkness” I’m am glad to have been of avail. We all have them, in fact I was in one when I wrote the post before this one. . . and the comments received inspired me to write this post. It’s ok to be in the dark sometimes, just don’t allow it to consume you. Blessings my friend!
Thank you for the lovely, warm reminder of our connectedness Cordie. It is this type of positivity that we need to spread throughout the world to helps us heal.
And thank for the sunshine you so often shine into my life, Collen. Ubuntu, my friend!
