Mexican Waves
The waves crash and I feel lost
you might not see a connection
but somehow, there it is.
In a world so wide and full
I don’t imagine how I,
insignificant as I am,
matter all that much.
Though I may be
the center of my universe
as the ocean takes its
daily route from one shore
to the other,
I feel amazingly small
and lost in a world
that will keep on turning
no matter what I do
or how long I stay
and after I’m gone
lives will be affected
but nothing will change
for I am really of no consequence
to life.
I am alone.
Life is nothing but
a perpetual state of loneliness.
Even within
the circle of your arms
there are times
when I feel that signature chill
creep over me.
And even in this Mexican heat
I feel cold
utterly alone in the world
as everyone
always
truly
is.
