Today, we are painfully human;
soft clusters of earth-bound atom and
memory that knows little of existence.
Space is denser here,
chasing sunrise over shrouded mountains
and coarse, red earth.
Faith travels faster than any promise of remembrance,
clinging to windswept coastline and finding home
in the warm creases of your palm.

So do I. Her name is Nicolette and she is one of AP's finest and most popular writers, as well as being a beautiful soul. This is a lovely poem with elegant metaphors strewn throughout. Congratulations on your HM, Poet.

This is a really great poem. I can relate to it really well. Distence seems to be just about the only thing that I'm really good at. Good job and God Bless

Life is a series of twists and turns and we never know where we
will end up, until we are there...
