Look Away

As you look into the abyss

The myth of life reflected back

Faces of unknown friends

Dissolved in the chatter around

Neither are you understood

Nor do you understand

The vicious circle of life

Is surely at hand.

Reviews

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed, it's that circle that demands us to fall and rise in one fell swoop, well done, good read.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think this is more about the subject of the poem and how that person never took the time or effort to befriend others, and thus will die in an abyss of loneliness...

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Whoa. This is pretty heavy. My life flashed before my eyes and I felt as
if I had caught a glimpse of the eternity.

[Sami Khalil]

Finely written and woven in meaning. I like it a lot.
