Alone in a Crowd
Alone in a crowd of strangers
Spinning, twirling where to turn
Adrift in a sea of faces
Searching, looking whom I know
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Not one of the many colors,
Sizes, genders speak to me
For each in a hurry sprinting
Dragging luggage to the gate
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sardines, we are packed in cramped seats
Harnessed, belted, buckled tight
To wait for the looming take-off
Destination, journey’s end
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Alone in a crowd of strangers
Chaos, turmoil all around
Retreating to my quiet place
Tuning in to higher self
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adrift in a sea of faces
Spinning, twirling where to turn
Find harmony, peace and love thoughts
Inside you and nowhere else.
