"Conservation is humanity caring for the future." - Nancy Newhall

The faceless crowd and I.

Would a Silent witness listen?
Does a silent witness exist?

To whom would I entrust
my darkest secrets, when
my darkest secrets are
not mine?

yearning, searching through the faceless crowd
feeling so keenly bereft of human companionship . . .
hopelessly searching for a reminder of the essence of
humanity. . .

who will unfetter them? Who will unfetter me?

. When we all are.
.
prisoners
.
prisoners of our own thoughts
and unsatisfied feelings

prisoners of the dreamt but illusive
freedom - The Eternal Satisfaction .

Why do we abuse, wrongfully misuse our
own strength and capabilities?

Am I a victim of my own mentality?

I still wander among the faceless
crowd. When will I make my voice heard?
Can they see me? Do I have a face?

I find this poem very interesting to read. My interpretation of this poem is that the faceless ness of people represents the restrictions that we all face :)

The features of faces in crowds must be like subtractive color.

Emotions can have face by way of expression.... so is your soul if you share it with reality!
