Anonymous Existence


When was it last that you held a hand?

To come in the way, of a tottering fall?
To transfer faith, break a wall?

To find conviction, make your choice?
To collect your courage, raise a voice?

To comfort a friend, sans expectation?
Or is love just an aberration?


When was it last that you wore a smile?

To bring hope, to one who has none?
To bring shade, from the scorching sun?

Be it fake, to show "I'm fine"?
To mask sorrow, yet bring sunshine?

To assure someone that "I'm there"?
To evince trust and say "I care"?


When was it last that you shed a tear?

For the Lord you claim, as one of your own?
Yet do not yearn, conveniently disown?

For that shadow, who faithfully trails?
But in your neglect, silently wails?

At your heart's whispering insistence?
For that one stranger - an Anonymous Existence!
