At night my dreams are filled with these people.
How can I be so alone
surrounded by so many?
I start to talk to someone,
but just before she speaks,
my alarm wakes me

...this dream sounds familiar..is it because...hmmm....no, it couldn't be..could it?...indeed...*smile*

Father, that strange sense of isoation /dislocation is evoked beautifuly in this piece. I love this cos it's so very true for some us, who walk the skin of this earth lightly.

This is haunting but so good
"Then again on the platform, and in the trains,
others take care to avoid my eyes
while straing to watch everything I do,
and I do the same."

That platform of faces is kind of like flying too and looking down at all the cars, homes and people. It is humbling to think yourself special when seeing how many people below think the same thing. Life is an Enigma and we occupy a small space individually. You are never along although sometimes we feel that way. Thank you for this perspective. It is worth reading over and over for the real life situation we can all place here at one tiime or the other.

Peace and love,
Susan
