Among us,
There are worlds unspoken
And worlds sheltered.
We look for eyes like ours,
Hearths brimming with banked coals,
A window from which to gaze together upon
All that passes.
We see and hear
Clearly
But from a distance;
We reach toward
Those who cannot be reached.
Tonight, in the pool of dreams
Beyond our solitude,
We will swim toward each other,
Smiling.
--Mr. Gobley
