On the outside faced pressed tight to life do you
Understand that and every moment unfeeling there in
The crowd larger than aloofness bitter posionedblood
Sighs empty unanswered untouching and so untouched
Inside you plead save the nauseated screams talk of
Death you implore if only a momentary touching know
Eartbound no starring reach hastens in gaze blindly

Longing for a recognition and therein ascending
Of self searched seized if seen noting gain the hunt
Or within the trek spoor followed that mirrored one
Knows suddenly where cancer of the soul began inside
Intuitive declarations self diagnosis medicates all
Nothings then and more the story said again know
Growing distance between beyond he almost proud to

Inhale the righteous selves lie breathing emotions
Nomad needing neither water shelter or helping hand

That "No man is an Island..." I once considered a challenge. As years go by I wonder, have I truly changed my mind.

"Time is merely change. It neither enslaves nor determines us. It is instead our opportunity for self-definition"
