THE OTHER


He found it today

Was it ever lost

Who was to say

But once again it is his

All the years alone

The scent of a flower ceased to exist

The ground beneath his feet

Like air taken leave

Now the Other

Has come to him

Trees against a blue sky

Lightness of heart

The ability to laugh

With honesty and delight

What joy, a dream in reality

The Other

A world of confusion

One not for him

Finally he has left it

Despair in solitude

Out of the darkness

Not a starry night

Another soul to share life and love

The Other
