In a crowded room I’m alone
Born to broken spirits
Infinite yearning
Never leaves my soul
An outcast
Restless, wanderer, gypsy
Stranger to the known
Longing for the unseen
Sparks of joy linger
Barely within my reach
Then flash by like
Spurts of electricity
Fill me dear Lord
In my time of grief
What lesson is this
Alone in my dark abyss
