Little Voice


'I don't want to be alone any more.'

It was such a little voice,
Lost into the enormous space that was...
 Everything else.

But all over the world,
The same thoughts were spoken,
ARE spoken;
Repeated
By hundreds,
Maybe thousands;
Maybe hundreds of thousands
Of lonely souls,
Over and over,
Filling the skies with their voices.
How is it that we don't hear such a cacophony?
Only sometimes we catch it,
Slithering across a desperate eye,
As dark as sadness.
Don't let them be alone.
Let's listen.

Streets

Streets ahead,
or
Streets apart,

It's all about
The
Distance.


Nicer
To be
Side-by-side
In the same
Street.

Closer.

Loneliness

What does loneliness sound like?
Like the quiet weight of a heavy hand stroking the silence and hoping for a sound.
Deny the empty space between, smile into the void and stand firm.
A soul is a soul and deserves to be seen,
Not hidden by a silent scream.




Do your bit to stamp out loneliness, smile at someone who needs it and listen out for the silent hellos.
