Sometimes it feels like we are shuffling alone
in shades of life


Shades of Life...


No one can see
there is nothing there;
just lonely bits of life
with eyes looking down,
going nowhere,
shuffling alone
in shades of life.

Souls crying in church,
nobody cares;
nobody hears
the sermon anymore,
just words printed
on a vulgar page
in a very old book.

Beneath gray clouds,
songs unsung
have withered as
time stops moving
in unison with
words unspoken
in the shade of life.

Lifes book is in unknown numbers of volumes , trillions and then some , no life is unimportant , lifes are a dry stone in stone wall , remove even loosan just one , then the whole wall is weeakaned , each stone like a single stone , is vital to the whole wall that streches around this world of ours , rember no such THING as nothingness, no such THING s an empty bottle , that bottle has potential.

This and "It's 2:00 a.m. again," make a strong statement of isolation, and the voice is almost resigned if not sad. I think these poems will resonate with everyone to varying degrees, for everyone has had these thoughts. Though somber I like the tone of these poems.
