Universal Chord

by Marjorie Anne Reagan

Writing often
'tis always my hearts desire
to cause the burn of the universal fire

under the same moon, stars, milky way
separated and joined by the same oceans,
breathing the same air

touch, sight, sound, taste
smell,
love, sadness, mmm sweet gladness,
Mother, Father, Sister, Brother
flower, tree

captivity,freedom,
loneliness, wantonness,
relativity,gravity,brevity,
levity

wind,rain,birth,death
breathing,drawing our first breath
fear,shame,guilt,pain
what ifs and what nots

have tos
have nots
giving,living
hating,loving
recreating,just relating
commonality at it's finest
striking with art
heart
the universal chord

making you know, I know that we know
we lived through it
you can do it
sometimes joyously
sometimes numb
through living and dying
sharing and writing

somehow makes me feel
I succeeded
when someone else needed
to read
what ever color, feeling my pen chooses to bleed
letting me know
I struck in you
part of what belongs to all human kind
wonderous
the universal chord

"commonality at it's finest/striking with art/the heart/the universal chord". Very nice.
