crowded

so many people in this room
all with faces of solitude
how can this be?
why are we so lonely
            when we are all together
                  in a sea of unknown faces
                        and unknown lies?
what happens when I go home
            and feel less aloneness than here
                  in a sea of unknown wonders
                        unknown kindness?
how does one get beyond the unknown?
how does she find here way
            to acceptance
                  and love?
