comfort

When seems you are surrounded

But not in soulful company

It feels dreadfully alone

The heart’s volcano rupturing

Hugged a tree in desperation

To feel anything actually real

For everyone has a facade

While I am waiting still

I couldn’t speak the language

But a smile is universal

And how rare to find authentic

Without the ego’s grand rehearsal

When seems you sit in silence

And the mind is all you hear

That it be defining in experience

And find the comfort always near
