Open Soul Window
If only I could open
a window to your soul.
I would peer in, observe
the moving pictures inside.
All the workings -
cogs functioning
to form thoughts,
ideas linked together
in chains of filmstrip
flashing on neuro screens.
Then I would understand
instantaneously
what it is to be you.
My understanding
could swim in the depth
of your emotions without
the fear of ever being lost.
