Can you feel

the universe expanding exponentially

a dead grandfather’s breath

subtlety of context

and connection to outcome

what about the now

can you feel

this child’s frailty

an infinite love

human conflict

perpetual progress

and movement

what about the soul

can you feel

the absence of absolutes

millions of metaphors

in every second

leaving us trembling

and wondering

what about a bridge

can you feel

connection

perfection

at the heart of it

flowered roads

snow capped domes

of granite

and ancient stuff

what about love

not gotten just felt
