When I sought
When I reached
When I wanted
Is asking, seeking,
Should I walk alone
****
When I asked
for a drop of love
the whole ocean emerged
and engulfed my being...
for a shaft of light
I was blinded by
the dazzle of torrents of sunshine...
for a friendly hand
hundreds reached out
and touched me...
a smile for my lips
laughter never ceased
and tears poured down my face
eventually...
reaching and wanting
doomed to engulfment,
submergence and blindness?
Is it
all or none?
and live,
or
drown in a sea of
humanity?
