Yet...

 

 

 It gushes in swelling waves
Tidal and aplenty
Love….

 

Awash I am as it
Swirls forth and rushes
Abundant…

 

Surging from diverse sources
Submerged I am in its overwhelming
Cascade…

 

Yet…
Unaffected, untouched, removed
Why do I stand there, so alone…

 

The glass is so much more full
Than it can ever or will be
Empty…

 

Privileged and sheltered
Cherished and by all abundantly
Revered…

 

Yet…
Burn I with the chilling coldness
Of my inner numbing loneliness…

 

Kaleidoscope of colours
Do taint with loving colours
My world…

 

Yet…
My heart can only perceive the sepia
Of days that never came nor ever will…
