We fail to fall into solidarity,
though but a moment we were granted
Emptiness not loneliness exuding from every faceless pore
Tears on a blank slate of comraderie,
surprised by the groove of Pasts
Jingling bells of laughter not quite grasped,
in the wind, haunt my room at night
Voices challenging sanity alight,
just out of audible comprehension
Are you there? Is it you?
Dogs lick my palm in understanding
Mommy we're here, hold us,
as hands plunge into soft fur
Rough nap bounces begging for his turn,
laughter echoes in silence
I survive the night,
seeking solace with the day, mid crowds
Clones of empty mein,
empty vaccuous computerized faces, cold to me
Who never meets strangers,
am appalled by the separatists lifestyle
Turn to God from Whom I am never separated.
The void is filled.
There is no emptiness, just empty hearts.
May I fill yours with LOVE? Then, you meet Hope
