Alone in a Crowd

                                                                       Alone in a Crowd

                                                             Alone in a crowd at the shore
                                                              With sea of faces in my fore,
                                                             The roaring silence is so loud
                                                         For soft noise I yearn in the crowd;

                                                          A heavy lightness sways my mind
                                                            As awakened dreams I can find,
                                                          Yet bitter sweetness laps my tongue
                                                                As loud hollow music is sung.

Not really sad as quietude I can find in the multitude by retreating within myself. Wishing you a peasant new week.
