Come Along

Come Along_______________________________

In midst of crowd,
If you seek for space,
A sound even if loud,
Sounds like a distant echo…

In the midst of crowd,
If you seek for space,
A recent memory,
Seems like ages ago…

In the midst of crowd,
If you seek for space,
Even the best of place, 
Seems oh so dull… 

In the midst of crowd,
If you seek for space,
Friends laughter,
Sounds like a whisper…

In the midst of crowd,
If you seek for space,
Even with a “smart” phone,

You feel disconnected…

In the midst of crowd,
If you seek for space,
Even with loved ones,
You see strange unknown faces…

In the midst of crowd,
If you seek for space,
People, places all seem,
To be in distant lands…

Sometimes, we feel, 
We just don't belong,
We look around for,
The one we belong to,
Wait for him(her) to come up,
Look into our eyes,
Offer his(her) hand to hold,
And say, "Come along..."
