It is . . .

by Robin Korth

It is the stark and powerful beauty of a soul struggling . . .
that makes my heart sing and sigh in wonder.

It is another’s tears of sorrow or joy . . .
that cause my soul to fly out in a welcome of heartbreak or celebration.

It is the wonder of the human spirit reaching to be more and wandering in terror that it may be less . . .
that causes me to fling wide the arc and ache of my spirit.

It is a gut-wrenching longing to be one with the essences of those around me . . .
that causes me to yearn and cry my heart to the planet.

It is the simple and remarkable “humanness” of us all . . .
that splits my soul asunder in an overpowering desire to embrace the world in my arms.
