Lonesome Atom

"Being lonely is tolerable, being alone is horrible"

It is alone in this world.

It shares its loneliness with none willing,

to accompany it through its youthful days of old.

It is alone in this world, has none to sooth this feeling.

It is alone on this planet,

As it spins and watches the sun rise and set,

While it awaits company, it hasn’t been found, no, not yet.

It is alone on this planet, from sunrise to sunset.

It is alone in this universe,

Within its lonely galaxy

Quite and still its emotive particles disperse.

It is alone in this universe, a mere particle in the sea.

Beyond the Milky Way and Andromeda.

Its loneliness spans and stretches in search of its creator.

In The Name

Long since, have I been gone.

Those I lived for, now live their lives torn.

I’m gone now,

The choices I’ve made will now help my family grow.

Those born after the making of my history,

Are dying to live knowing what ceased to make me be.

My name being lives on, through their success.

My name will guide them not to transgress.

They will continue to flourish, not as I did,

But in a manner fit to redeem my every bad deed.

They will stand up to fight for my/our name sake.

They will reproduce smaller versions through whom my spirit shall wake.

Long since, have I been gone.

Yet my name lives on.

Temporary Bliss

"The strife for material possessions without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake"

Yogananda

Laughter echoing in my conscience as I glance aside to see.
Scented gusts of wind, with a whiff of beverage curiosity.
A musically tempting momentary musking of reality.
Dining in intoxicated company.

A scene swarming with smiles,
A colorful collage of chuckles,
Within a random symphony of conversation.
Swallowed within a sea of abandon.

Eat, drink and be marry.
For tomorrow we have heavier worries to carry.
