Description
I heard the cry last night
of a thousand lonely souls
wandering the streets,
searching for the light.

The cry was shrill and loud,
full of pain and anguish;
suffering and confusion
hung in the clouds.

I wanted to strangle the cry,
to end the pain, the anguish,
to rid the sky of
the suffering, the confusion.

So I began
searching for someone
to silence the cry—
the cry welling up in
the throats of the desolate souls
surrounding me, pushing in closer.

But I could find no one.
I was enveloped
into the throng
of lonely souls
wandering the streets,
searching for the light.

I felt the cry surging up
inside of me,
invading my heart,
my mind,
my thoughts.
And all I was was the cry.
