Wandering Lonely as a Chair



Wandering

From chair to chair
Room to room
Seeking something
Undefined.

Wandering
From dream to dream
Always not finding
What is missing.

A chair unoccupied
A room empty
Boxes without contents
Hallow walls.

Lonely as a chair
Empty as my heart
Hallow echos
Of something lost.

  1. I like how you remind us of how we all begin. That there is no resolution to the questions, keeps me remembering, yet grateful for what answers I've found.

    Better not to seek - things have a way of coming to us when the time is right, without our searching...
