Hope
Why do i feel
terribly alone?
Although,
there are people
all around
Who care
i need a friend
who listens with their heart
to what i need
to feel good about
What i am trying
to do in life
I need to pray,
not just any prayer
but to step outside myself
To communicate with the creator
As directly as is humanly possible,
As if it matters what we talk about
Just as if speaking eye to eye,
Heart to heart
with another human being
we feel, who really cares about us
i believe this to be natural,
a normal part of living
as free from wanting things
that only come and go
In the distraction of everyday life
existence with a purpose to be
This is my only religion
This is my hope,
not only for me,
But in all
our lives
