Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Adrift

All these lonely people
secluded
drifting
in parallel worlds
of isolation
that never intersect

If only they could find each other
somehow converge and 
burst the bubbles of separation

Living in unrelated
universes of emptiness
find ways to heal each other
within their surreal nothingness
fixated on the past
stop choosing to
ignore the whole big world 

If all the lonely people
got together they could
abolish loneliness
they would they could they should

Timothy Mcguire January 18, 2019 at 10:11 PM Wonderfully written, a fav for me. These things you write of are so true. I was hearing Paul McCartney signing "Eleanor Rigby" as I read this fantastic poem. Line Gauthier January 18, 2019 at 11:16 PM Thank you so much for your most appreciated visit and compliment, Timothy.
