Alone and lost amid verdant ground,

High upon the wood, I’m found, looking

For ones who look like me, the ones

Who form my family, for without them,

I’d just gaze about, wondering

What my life’s about, afraid to climb

To soaring heights, afraid that maybe

I just might, fail to spread my wings and fly,

Fail to find the reason why, I was left here,

By myself, a lonely bird, upon a shelf

Bewildered by what she cannot be

Reflections in the glass, mirror only me

Cast aside, she’ll watch the others play

Curious thoughts still gather her way

Wondering why they have left her alone

No one to talk with, here on her own

Somber and lonely, she sits and she dreams

The only true friends are illusions, it seems

He, in a Lost World

He sits around a table

Lost in his own little space

Fondling his cold coffee cup

In a lost, bewildered place

Talks to the empty chair

That’s seated across from him

No one answers back, you see

Or wonders where he’s been

It’s a solemn conversation

About how his life could be

Do not look at him with disdain

One day it could be you or me

 

Sadly, this is a true story. So many people, especially around the holidays, are simply looking for a smile, a hello, recognition that they exist. Smile at a stranger…you may be the only light in a very dark place.
