I sit alone in a crowded room. Couples chat in unison. No heed is paid to me, as I contemplate and view with melancholy heart these pastel images.
I see the cardboard figures cut to adorn this room, from which sounds and laughter do emit. I hear the thoughts of mind and mindlessness as they speak.
I view the tapestry of sounds and voices. each thread unique in its artistry. Each is woven so as to remind me of places I have been, people I have known, and I marvel at the mystery of it all.
