can you feel the difference
of a passionate soul
with the patience of a true heart
and the steadiness of
an unquavering mind?

do you know the difference
of which we speak?
of that we seek?

do you realize the impact
that one silent moment
can have on a lifetime -
spent without actualizing,
spent without understanding,
spent without.........

to feel it but not see it.
to know it exists but not touch it
to believe within your soul
to hold faith in the dark recesses
that fill the lights glow inbetween
and to know it exists
because the feeling overpowers
all that is you.
