Abyss Of Loneliness
In the abyss of my loneliness
I try to unravel
the tangled threads of my life.
The tapestry is like a puzzle
with too many missing parts.
Some areas are threadbare
existing in solitude
with no base of support.
I search my soul and find
there but for the grace
of God go I but
for what purpose?
Do I exist to serve
or serve to exist?
In this adventure called “Life”
is it living to merely exist?
In a secret corner of my heart
is a well of hurt and a well of love.
I desire to draw from the very depth
of the well of love and share
to be fully “Alive.”
To merely exist without love
is to be as dead, to be stagnant.
But we live in a society
that wears blinders to true love
settling for instant gratification,
coexisting out of fear of being alone.
Or do we coexist out of fear of being alone
with one’s own thoughts, with oneself?
If we as humans are superior beings
why is it so difficult to exist in love?
We oftimes settle for mediocrity,
bury our goals, our dreams, our talents,
merely existing day after day
going nowhere, accomplishing nothing,
on a treadmill, in a rut,
fooling ourselves and living a lie.
Amidst all the chaos
is there really a calm?
Make me an instrument
of Love and Peace.
