No One

Walking the streets up and down,
my own image fades on car mirrors.
A wandering ghost with no bound,
sadly cut by invisible scissors.

What in life I would call disgrace,
come to me in sharp knives.
This cold winter that eats my face,
with no color and no jives.

And even the more I try to scape,
there is no run away for me,
from this vague space called life.

No matter what path I shall take,
I find no one there but thee,
for the no one me lacking rife.

Sad. This poet may, like me, be suffering depression from this terribly long winter. "I find no one there but thee"...this sounds like Deity, and if so, I agree. Love, Dave
