Attention Poem by Doris Cornago

Attention



My eyes see you everywhere you go
Anything you do is where I will be
No matter if we're together or
Alone, we're home in that
Place where our hearts
Find shelter, where
Our minds meet
Where nothing
Separates us
Words unite
And bind
Us tight
Make
Burdens
Light as air
Filtering despair
Acknowledging fears
Yet facing up tomorrow
Without a hint of doubt about
Who we are, to whom belongs our
Love, time, efforts, attention, devotion
Though tiredness overtakes and eyes lose
Focus, our minds remain sharp as knives drawn
Cutting through space, making our mark with others

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I want a man's attentiveness, or his devotion, more than the man; having it is half the battle won. You might hold a man but if his mind is elsewhere, then, he's not truly there. On the other hand, the physical absence is hurdled when a man gives me his full attention.: -)

This poem is also for families separated by overseas work who must pretend they are with their loved ones so they can serve their contract and secure a better future or their loved ones.: -)
