Anybody there?

I seem to have lost my way

Anybody there...?

I seem to have lost my way.

The darkness in my mind.

Only if someone could help me see...

the light.

I must have left my lamp...

the moment I treated myself to a glass of something strong...

that of wine mixed with brandy, maybe.

Then one more... and a couple more.

Are you there?

I hear silent footsteps approaching.

I must be dreaming.

I wake up - to more wine mixed with brandy.

About the Creator

Albert Lisho

I write, write, and write. I express myself, through writing. I talk less, and write more. I rather listen, than talk. Learn to listen, to learn.

    Sometimes we need someone in our lives, the lamp.
