The Invisible Space Poem by Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo

I cross your path almost every day
But to you, I'm just a fleeting blur
You ignore my friendly greetings
So I wonder why I even try to stir

Could it be that we're meant to be
Two souls linked by destiny's plan
Or perhaps we're mere strangers
Living parallel lives that never blend

You once held me close to your heart
Nurtured and protected every breath
Now you don't know my deepest fears
Or the tears I cry when I'm bereft

Others ask you about my well-being
And you respond with practiced ease
But do you really care about my plight?
Or are you just trying to put them at ease?

I long for the moment when you'll discover
The real person hiding behind my mask
When you'll see me beyond my outward form
And acknowledge the beauty in my heart

Put me beneath a new dawn's sky
And look into my eyes without fear
Strip away this veil of flesh and bone
And perceive the essence of my soul clear

For I am more than the sum of my parts
A creation fashioned by love and grace
A being meant to thrive and bring joy
Not be confined to an invisible space

So if you ever feel drawn to my light
Don't hesitate to reach out your hand
Together we could create memories
That will last forever, throughout time's strand
