Public Faces Private Souls
Crowded bustling crossroads
people watching
public faces private souls
universes onto themselves
Multidimensional yet vacant shells
distorted souls receded deep within
clouded over as if camouflaged
compact pressure points
Of bubbling emotion desire need
longing ambition expectation talent
knowledge experience memory
illusion deception dream fantasy
Yet we see only the superficial shell
till our eyes adjust to the dimension of compassion
that warm plane where we all meet and share
in the complexity of life and living
