10-Along the Way

Along the Way

Alone in the crowd, devoured from my search

To discover the culmination of a shooting star

With phatic phrases never heard.

There is a real person locked away

 In words that never mattered,

An agent of unification in times of chaos.

Memories in formless breezes through the grass

The humid rain brushes my smile

As if to silence a yearning.

Drizzles of words,

The opening of my consciousness

Towards the odyssey of a new poem.

Carl Scharwath
