Look into the Aloneness
Don Hynes
Oct. 18, 2015
We punish each other
and punish the earth,
separate from the land
that’s our story,
volumes of cruelty
with a few gems of grace
buried in coarse gravel.
I write to the sleeping
though they don’t often stir.
I write to the awake
to give them solace.
Today I write to you
remembering the rejected,
afraid to touch the scars.
There are years on this earth,
then days, then hours
and finally this moment
with rain in the sky,
wind lifting a solitary gull.
Look into the aloneness
of the sea and let
the sound of your heart
echo once more
on the rising wave.
We’ve drifted too far
yet amidst it all
we do sing.
