This song was adapted from The Twenty-ninth Song (below) in my book Unsung Songs (Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1JCNQWY ) • The 29th Song • Ah! But the thin walls between us, you and I! • Traversing through the expanse of space and time, • Ensconced each in our own orbs of joy and grief, • Wreathed so by the sheaths we’ve put around our hearts. • So many dark spots even when we’re so nigh, • Posed so like folks viewing a strange pantomime, • Knowing not what could bring the next man relief, • Nor he where my joy ends and where my sigh starts. • Knowing not the weight of the next man’s burden, • Nor the distress and the anguish of his mind, • Yet so many a time have I labeled him, • Reduced him to a handful of characters. • So many a time when he has been broken, • And to the solitude of his soul resigned, • Have I watched and left him to a lot so grim, • When I was right at the edge of his waters. • How, when we’re obliged to mutual forbearance, • And stoical compassion towards each other, • Do we not rue the heaviness of their blows? • When we are, as it is, bound with the same cord. • Aren’t we, then, to commune with reassurance, • To slow down, to hark better, to look deeper, • To understand, to share in the joys and woes, • Of our brethren as was the way of our Lord?
