Plague of Hearts and Minds By Steven L Herring Alone I've always felt it Crowded rooms Human-filled hallways Bars brimming with patrons Everywhere empty inside I could look right through solid mass and see nothing but emptiness and black But now that we're altogether separate, Trapped in our rooms concealed Carrying our will to live gracefully like a burden in our hands I now relish in the fact that we're all here together All of us willingly weeping Shrouded Crowded under the same black cloud Ominous in danger Dangerous together I see you slyly smiling from across the room and our eyes light up while our mouths, masked with paper and cloth crack a secret smile And all of a sudden we're not alone We suffer together under the same black cloud
