Who Are We

shadows of the past visions in the dark memories that didnt last echoes of the heart who are we? faces with no eyes emotions without love humans full of pride vessels without a dove who are we? a forrest without the sun an ocean without the water a mother without her son a father without his daughter who are we? are we the whispers in the wind or a scream in the desert are we the feeling when we win or the pain when we get hurt who are we? pages without the pen a year without a summer an egg without the hen a drum without the drummer who are we? are we the void in an open plain are we the lonliness in limbo am i the thunder in an open range or taps of rain on a window who are we? are we the lonesome dove or are we the chosen sparrow is it me youre thinking of or are we the bow without the arrow who are we?

Sometimes life brings ambiguity. It'll take us high and proud with smile before it throws us down facing the plain ground. Nicely written, John. :)
