Slowly
He walks
It's not like
Anything is making him
Have to go faster
Than he is going
Frail bones shake and tremble as they move
A weak smile is on a wrinkled face
He sits
Unsure of what to do
Getting from one place to another
Is not quite exciting
A lamp hangs above him
And he looks up at the light
It is warm
It is soothing
The room is quiet and lonely
No one is seen but him
As he sits beneath the light
A golden glow shines upon him
The youth has been drained from his being
But not from his eyes
Or his smile
Or his laughter
Or his voice
He is happy
He is smiling
Though he is lonely
He feels content
The light continues to shine
The man continues to stare
He waits
Until the light flickers
And is gone
But he is still smiling
He is still content
Just because you're alone
Doesn't mean you can't be happy
