un-found –
not lost –
the difference in the
absence of belonging…

longing for –
that which you cannot have –
smile returned,
touch received,
void filled…

alone –
i was –
before i thought you found me,
long before i dreamed you –
cared,
believed…

how easy to release –
it seems,
regardless how far the fall –
not even the absence of a net deters the craving…

this lonely life – spent in the shadows,
eyes open,
scanning the horizon –
knees bent –
prayers sent –
all in vain!

your footsteps echo down the corridor,
long passageway of lonely –
leading you away –

from me –

all things good un-gravitate –
un-attach –
leave me –
undefined,
un-entwined with life…

need –
grasping at threads of hope –
a breeze merely blows away…
