Uncomfortably Numb

I live a comfortable quiet life

I scribe poems

for a few friends to read

My wife crafts her crafts

.

Self engrossed we are, yes indeed

.

We fill our kitchen cupboard

nestled here nicely in the suburb

As a bear in hibernation

I find myself, at times,

living a state of self isolation

.

Is this the reason I feel

so uncomfortably numb?

.

My tears are dormant, no rain will come

My apathy is my melancholy

.

This unbearable ennui

should not be my reality

.

Help me please

There has to be a better way

.

Lets help ourselves

by helping our neighbors

lift the loneliness of today.

So we all may have, everyday,

a Happy Valentines Day!
