Emptiness

Emptiness, that bridge to far, I've tried so many times to cross that bar,

I've tried my best

Even bought a friend, but that proved fruitless in the end!

Time and age are against I am told!

Relentless each and every day, they all pass by and go on their way,

A knowing smile a friendly wave, would these same people surround my grave?

No time to chat, no inclination I've lived my life still on probation,

I know we all must die alone, why pay the bill to a silent phone,

The television my link with life, I sleep all alone

What will dawn bring, will I hear the bellbird deep inside the bush

Or feed the common garden ,

Maybe the sun will come out today,

Showing blue skies instead of grey there's hope,

There's life, I need to feel, the love of life so I can heal .

PS-I read this somewhere, not sure when & where exactly.
