Human

I could start with something famous,

Something as popular, as well put as

“I wandered lonely as a cloud”

But, then, that is not my line.

I'm neither lonely, nor a cloud.

Only human.

 

Living, breathing, feeling.

The crinkles around my eyes

Betray my age, but also say

I’m a happy girl, I laugh.

There is a dimple in my cheek.

I’m only human.

 

My phone tinkles, I smile and reach.

It is the sweetest sound,

A connection that says I’m not alone,

I laugh at my disappointment,

It was only the service provider.

It too, only human.

 

This whole world is only human,

I revel in that connection.

I love my people.

Their faces, their voices,

The sound of my voice.

It’s all only human
