Something Only Human

Suppressing old sighs, and emotions
that intensity suggests are not all mine.
I once believed in loneliness, but now
with all that time has created within me
I can only see that I am the only company
to keep (and slow emptiness is the cold
creeping doubt that plagues us). Pandora
only some little bit of the last curse
was let out. We few beings, the mud of
the Earth, newly formed to seek love
have you ever seen the comets far
above where we have landed?
I can only hope that this still loneliness
is something only humans feel,
I would not curse the stars or moons
with this creeping death.
