                                             Drifting

And as I reflected :
   I saw myself drifting through life;
                            Alone.
      Floating through time and space
            Reaching out
                For a hand
                       a touch
                          a smile.
       Finding only a void
                a nothingness
    Internalizing the grip that lonliness has placed on my heart,
              my mind,
                 my soul.
        Kissing my cheek with a tear;
              Wanting
                  Needing
                     Waiting for what??
              For that which I cannot have, to fill the emptiness inside
               Engulfed in pain and dispair
               Crying for the soft sunlight to dissipate the darkness and horror
                 which is my heart.
   Again my mind drifts and my thoughts come back
        to YOU
           The smile on your face..
               The warmth of your touch..
                   The love shining through your
                          eyes.
          No longer am I alone
                 And for the first time
                      I Smile.
