This Hollow Life
Dec 21, 2022
Work. Not work
Work. Not work
Pay the bills
Cook, eat
And…
A moment of connection
A barista
A shop keeper
Crumbs for a starving man
Enough to go on for another day
Home. Along. Work.
The days pass
This modern life
Screaming for
Connection. Purpose. Meaning.
Deliberate effort required
Too busy
To fill a hollow life
Work. Not work.
The days pass.
Old age nears
Society moves past
An empty shell
in God’s waiting room
This hollow life ends
Do we get another go?
To feel
To connect
To below
To be noticed, when absent
To fill a hollow life
