Analysis of To touch a life yet known



To touch a life yet known

Create a ground where
we can reach another shore
for lives that never touch

That which cant be said
the desperate needing whispered
reach out with gentle hands

Silver smooth wings
leap great heights
too close to flaming suns
topple to ancient seas

Alien to ourselves
through tears
lost in mire
Of love revealed
in a world seemed mad

Touched by the wounded soul
without the telling of being told  
the part of the self we do not hold
