Are we bound in love or sex,
Or faith, or work, or creed?
Do we drift alone at sea,
Or do our fetters bind us tight?
Is there something holding on,
When we cannot grasp ourselves?
Do the chains that hold us down
hold us to each other now?
Is the soul alone set free,
Or does it walk with friends?
Amazingly beautiful! Reality is very well expressed and evident though the text 🙂

Thank you Naima. If you ever want to participate in the Desert Abbey you are welcome to. I plan to do them more frequently.
Desert Abbey, can you explain please?

Thank you, I will check it just now.
-Naima.
Also, if you search for Desert Abbey on my blog you should get all the relevant posts ( I think I have that worked out now)
But how to contribute?
The Desert Abbey is a gathering of poets who submit poems on a chosen theme. This particular one is on the theme of Connections.
Wow.. It was awesome, how can I contribute?
-Naima.
If you would like to contribute to this one (Desert Abbey II) just e-mail me a poem on the theme of connections to:
asoulswalk@lavabit.com
Okay, thank you.
-Naima.
Souls walking side by side–a wonderful image I am carrying away from this post!
I am glad to hear it!
