oh the camaraderie
that could be theirs
if it weren’t for the stares
they maintain
at the walls before them
separating their lives

as lonely finches
they perch
left in the lurch
by their shortsightedness
pecking endlessly
at the hole
before them
that seems to provide
all sustenance

if only
they could see
beyond

do I know them
better
than I know
myself?
my shelf
is dusty

I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(sigh) Oh Virginia, I know the irony of what you mean here, and though I like to be accepted, I am not that huge party sociable kind of person, I would feel as though I lost my character being like that and I forget my identity and stay aloft on that dusty shelf trying to tidy my heart up! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderfully said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiufl heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
