Those Quiet Crowded Times

 
i know there are
the crowded quiet times
and these
 
are few
 
and far between
 
mostly there are
the quiet crowded times
where friends become shadows
and shadows become gray shades
washing into the distance
 
i know
 
i have seen the many
become the few
become the one
 
who steals away
and leaves you
best friends with your self?
 
i know
 
there are alone times
’cause their sirens are drawing
dancing them away and away
 
i know
 
so spill into the lives
of the endless
of the other
draw near and become
the one who stays
to the ones who are left
there is joy in it
there is life together
 
i know
 
those quiet crowded times
like silence in a full elevator
 
un-natural
un-welcome
un-comfortable
 
drawn near
and
you will be drawn near
 
i know
