Do no harm...... Jai's lament

Posted by Jai Narayan on September 11, 2004, at 9:28:27

I sit with fingers poised over keyboard
so new with blistering white keys
I caress the plastic pads with my sensitive healing hands
My thoughts telegraphing through my nerves
Will my meaning be understood
Life hangs in the balance of well placed words
I tread on thin ice as the earth icecaps melt
I pour forth from my heart
will this reach with gentle whispers
a soft hand
Not the shrill song of conflict
All communication can tangle into this
in a movie or book it deepens the characters
reveals the plot
In life it hurts
in the struggle of body, mind and heart
we who engage come away with something changed
I send a prayer for healing.
I send love into the hidden places of hurt
the wound way too new
the skin barely formed
I touch the keys with a halting rhythm
do no harm
my deepest goal
I send out love
where harm may have found a home
I am deeply sorry
but I fear it will never be enough
