lifeless

our hardened bodies
filled with feelings of emptiness and vague desires
like a lifeless stone
that watches as water flows underneath
and just as the stone lays still,
life passes us by
as we glare at it
as if hoping it will bend itself around us
show us a new direction…
a new path to direct our aimless glares
and perhaps as life flows by
we can scratch our itches
with its stream of hope, challenges and endless desires.
