Howling

Howling

Howl.
Into the
night, howl.
Howl.
Howl.
Looking out,
out into the
abyss.
Since the
first twitch 
life has been
vocal.
Howling into
the dark.
Searching 
for others.
Primal 
at first.
Desirous of
contact.
Desirous of
knowledge.
Wanting to
know,
to know 
what’s
 out there.
Wanting to
know,
who’s listening?
Who’s 
listening to
the howl?
Who will 
Respond?
Silence.
Nothing but
silence.
No one is
listening.
No one will
respond.
We howl
into emptiness.
We howl at
nothing.
We are
alone.
Alone 
 in the
void.
Alone
with
ourselves!

Thank you Tony,
Since we don’t know what’s possible, anything is possible. 
It is possible that we live in this limitless void alone.

Quagmire

In unending ways we still gather
Still make the attempt to unite
The things that divide us...

You and I

Love pouring out like thick golden sun
The gleam of bronze hair under a blue sky
Laughter...
