    For the Restless and the Lonely

     For the restless and the lonely
    Swap with me with me
    The scent of greenery
    The foliage falling like trapped silk
    Droplets of oceans in a tranquil web

    For the restless and the lonely
    Bear with me with me
    The arms that sunder the stars
    And touch the sky rippling
    Like a stone-skipped pond
    Proof of my passing existence

    For the restless and the lonely
    Touch with me with me
    The glowing fibers passing words
    To and fro, to and fro across
    Space and ocean
    Buzzing incessantly like bees trapped in a jar 

    For the restless and the lonely
    The swell of images bright and radiant
    Flitting across the frame
    Inspiring the burgeoning of unrequited dreams

    Have you slept tonight without need
    Of seeking peace on a screen?

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
