Insomniac

The sun is fading down
After the blank, arid
Lonely day
And the cold wind rises slowly
As I stand alone on the edge

A voice, carried by the currents
Following that bird
Up to the dark, purple clouds
Meant for me, as I hear the words
That I have never spoken

The air, slowly rolling around me
To form the warm hand
That touches my cheek
As I stare into the distance
Knowing that somewhere, somehow
I am not alone

I stare into the distance
Knowing that somewhere, somehow
You are looking back at me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
