-Across the Crowded Room-


Mindless bodies wandering,
With no clear picture of their destination.
And air of confusion, I feel boxed in,
Alone in the swarming mass.

I see you across the room,
A vast sea of commotion lies between us.
We try to come together, braving the current.
Eyes locked, space forgot, we are swept apart.

I am drowned in this space,
Sucked down into the murky depths.
Pushed and pulled, as mindless as the rest.
But, I know where I want to be.

There is no consideration in the torrent,
People are swept up and spat out.
None the wiser,
And what of us?  Apart once more.

Weaving upstream, three steps forward, two back,
To be met with an angry glance by the oncoming mob.
I don't care.  I will find you again.
For the world couldn't stand in my way.
