when we truly realize that we are all alone is when we need others the most

Ronald Anthony

munificence trust

what remains

this silent vigil

in need

indeed

in deed

the soul lays bare

for all to see

for finding unwanted

yet desires be clear

guilty of infliction

ache and grief

guilty of reverence

selfless relief

verdicts be fair

the facts present

and known

what works

what won’t

choices

together?

and how remains

or if…….

an empty box filled

inside this big tin carcass

is a tin box

this box is empty

it would contain the love

and joy

and experience

a child should always know.

one reflects into these spaces

and often sees and hears

echoes

of nothing.

now i peer and hear

and receive love

and joy

and experience

from my new heart

newly opened to receive

the life of experience

the future of promise

you bring to me

my friend.
