Alone


Looking for space to rest my stare
The moments have halted
The world stands still
Not a thing makes a move
What a time, short of life

Escaping from that difficult space
Foreboding rocks and talking giants
Deadlocks hold the keys
Caught yet free to move
What blank time, reducing life

Shouting with heart, hushed by mind
Tumultuous thoughts deep inside
Serene frontlet shines through
All the hints and not a sense
What pale time, colorful life

Running from truth, spinning around it
Closed eyes and finding undimmed light
Glowing fiercely from closest
Full of light and darkness around
What revealing time, disturbed life

Holding up thoughts, so many inside
Counting repeatedly and going nowhere
Sugaring profusely and spicing it up
Cloying the platter and hungry still
What hopeless time, hopeful life

Searching for a vent, unconditional
Can't find an ear inviting to hear
People all ears and threatening to know
Speaking a lot and hiding much more
What social time, alone life
