In the brain lightning flashes
Images of ego clashes
Solitude to corners drawn
From shelter surly shadows spawn.

Crowded pavements strangely silent
Crashing on your crisis island
Pounding pain of poverty
Painting portraits powerfully.

Craving kindness common ground
Friendship now a distant sound
Searching reaching to regain
A foothold into life again.
