Present Radiance

Finding comfort
in a busy world
a frenzied race
passing each other
distracted by
everything
except the person
that stands before you
 
We are hiding
in mythologies of deception
to earn love
to be noticed
to be immediate
 
This distance
keeps us drifting further
into these shadows
segments of life
quartered
in outreach
 
But look for any symbol of love
if you can
and treasure it
because it is cold
when you walk alone.
