Homeless

Thoughts meander, Crisp packets caught in a tree. Memories stick. I don't want to keep them, They cling to me. I sit alone, A gasp in a vacuum, A scream in space. Sifting a desert, I float above your heads, unseen. But I guess that’s how it goes No one sees me till it snows. A train explodes from a tunnel. I am defined In a rush of steel and glass. Fleeting form, negative stain Macabre cartoon , Flicked through windows Of a passing train. Subterranean solitude, Captured on the tube. Undo me, I must dissolve again Into the black hollow waters Of anonymity. A stone thrown into silence Breaks the waters skin. Embraced by a smile From a passing stranger, Love ripples from the centre. I am connected to the whole. I have spirit, I have soul. Not some human aberration But a part of God's creation Breathe, inhale, I will not drown. Freedom to believe, To hope, to conceive Of a brighter day A better way.
