Communication

The road ahead is very long and narrow.

No one to turn to

Everything seems so distant and faint

I can't reach anyone



Love is life's way of saying, "I'm here.  If you need help-just look.  But, not too closely."



Yet, when I look-all I see is confusion and torment.

Is this the "Love" that everyone told me of?

This place of darkness is suppose to be happiness?



I don't understand.  Was I reading too much into it?

I always thought love was to be pure, fresh and exciting.



You know, where you meet that special person and sparks fly.



But, why is everything so dark and lonely?  

Love is suppose to be "togetherness".



What went wrong?

What changed things?



WAIT...I see something.



Communication?  YES!  That's it!!

But, what does that mean?



Communication=Love is a 2-way street.  

One doesn't work without the other.



Now, I see light and feel refreshed.  

The door to communication has been opened.



PSSSST.....I also thought I saw a spark!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is my very first poem ever.  I wrote this when I was about 20 years old.  I thought that I would add it to my collection.

A thought provoking and highly revealing piece, Kim1 Perhaps, it is the poem's rhetorical essence in style that defines its moving message. Thank you so much, Kim, for this: 'Communication" I am enriched for having read this1 Ugonna
