what more can i say?

if wrinkles are interesting

i must be fascinating

if clean bad jokes make you smile

you’ll love conversations with me

if you know deep pain

you’ll find me a listener

find One

the woman with bewildered eyes

the youth with sunken cheeks

the man with angry menace

ready to explode

the wisp of a girl pleading

without a word

each with a story

each longing for recognition

yet inspiring fear

and met with hurried looks away

as though their burdens

are too much for even two to bear

until they have found One

who understands and cares
