Domino.

I examine the domino
Left and right,
Front and Back,
And all it takes is just one touch
For it to tip.

But it’s only one, only one piece.

I choose a handful more
And line them one behind the other,
In one even row.
Again, just one push,
But now all of them fall.

But it’s not very many still, only a small number.

I find one hundred more,
And arrange them all the same,
And watch them fall.
One thousand more,
And still the same.
One million more,
And still the same.

A trail now circling
The world today
Is falling still.
Domino after domino.
Impact after impact.
Life after life.

Another poem of mine.

Nice poem, on a side note, that’s something I haven’t done in quite a long while, play a game of dominoes, bothe the actual game and stacking them up and knocking them down.

I’m not sure if anyone really understands how I feel right now. it’s sooo much more than me just being worried. I don’t know… it’s so, weird.

A prayer from the heart is never in vain, sometimes we have to listen to the answers to know that we were listened too first.

Kindred spirit perhaps?

believe me. i know. i feel the exact same way with someone right now.

everytime you see them upset it kills you a little isnide, knowing your to far away to help properly. throughout the day you think about them… worry about them. wonder how theyre doing. its scary not knowing…

i know what you mean by more than worry. with this person it feels like if they die, i die with them.

i cant even think of words to describe it.. but i think i know what you mean.

I feel very, very connected to him. The thing that scares me though, is that he reminds me of my ex… who hurt me so much.

yeah you guys do seem really connected.
that would be kinda scary… but try not to think about that.

hopefully he’ll feel that connection too. you may just be able to help him if he listens to what you have to say it might not be instant but theres still hope.

I like it. But I hate it. It’s like we’re all connected and if one of us falls it causes us all to fall and suffer. Like none of the dominoes have the strength to not fall when hit. No one can break the chain of suffering.
