Free Verse Poem
Energy Lives On
Absent Souls
Not really afraid
of leaving this world
or anxious to stumble upon another.
I do remain skeptical,
however, of these
misplaced and absent
souls among us.
Alive, happy, some unhappy
abandoned
they walk beyond
the Saguaro pride and
shadows of howling moon.
They exist
like the memory of a old demented man
living freely but mostly in mental chain
like the still pictures in a movie
with no lights or music
and with a caption-
“This video has no sound.”
I embrace them
I can’t leave them alone!
