i stand not alone

i stand not alone

call me delusional

but i stand not alone

there is a place

that haunts some resonant memory

embedded in me

perhaps it is a DNA thing

who knows

it tells me that

there is something within me

that is greater than my delusions

and it faintly whispers to my soul

beckoning me to awaken

and return . . .

home

i stand not alone . . .

i look upon the fabric of our existence

and the consistence

of absence

is stark

in this dark resemblance

of our semblance

of “life”

but life abundant

only peeks through

every once in a while

did you see the greater too ?

i stand not alone . . .
