UNSEEN MELODY

UNSEEN MELODY

Loneliness, can be so real
Tearing at your guts.
Silence can be so loud
When there is no one about.

Alone in a crowd,
Wrapped in a shroud,
Marked with a hundred conversations,
All trivial and insane.

From invisible flutes
Comes music to sooth,
But the player remains
Unseen, aloof.

Turn around; turn around,
See the emptiness surround.
Feel the quietness talking to you,
Twilight and morn all seem the same.

No break, between one day and the other
Everything merging, into one another
No lines to demarcate,
When, one thing ends and another begins.

Is this how it’s going to be?
For ever and ever, never changing,
Always remaining the same
One day to another.
