One-
One lone point of light
Floating in darkness;
Reaching out
For nothing.
Alone-
Trying to call out
But helpless to cry;
Too late to be retrieved,
But too early to let go.
Isolation-
Hope gives way
To despair;
Not quite bound,
But not at all free.
One-
One lone point of light
Floating in darkness;
Reaching out
For nothing.
Lawrence R. Daffner, 1/89
