Oh the dark, dark otherness of others! <br />that brings on, such sadness, such despair… <br />deep, vast chasm in the heart… <br /> <br />Ah the shining otherness of others! <br />that brings on, such loving to be one… <br />the heart heals what the heart divides.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-otherness/
