I Wonder...

A really old piece I found in a notebook somewhere. Decided to post it anyway ha

Phone full of numbers,

Yet not a single person to call.

Room full of faces,

No real friends here at all.

Town full of bodies,

Yet not a single soul around.

City full of houses,

Yet, no home to be found.

I wonder when the time will come,

When the numbers will become people,

The faces into friends,

The bodies into souls,

And the houses into homes.

Wow! The questions run so deep in this poem. A sign of the genius mind at work. Ummm --as Reading Music put it --speechless --nobody's ever wondered about this before. For those who say "ahead of your time" please disregard, keep moving forward with this talent, never surrender, and you will become the standard by which all others write.

Where the emotions are the only faculty relating to the environment, it gets a little stale on account of the familiarity. Engage the mind in your activities and you'll find something different each day. A poem that seeks to relate on issues.

This is very meaningful, really captures that sense of being alone, even when it may not seem according to circumstances :)

Simple poignant and pondering.... and can so relate having moved in recent months ... alone... to a town where I know no one......
