Alone together

Holding it between your hands

The battery is full

The WiFi is working well

Your index finger moves from here

to there, scrolling up

scrolling down

You hold it… like a baby

You love it… like a lady

***

The world is running

And you are here

Still and idle

Texting… chatting… tweeting

There is a heart waiting for you

There is a soul needing you

There is LIFE… calling you

outside there!

***

Have you tried to have a look?

Open the window

Open the door

Open your heart like a shore

Afraid to face it

Or afraid to leave it

You’re hiding behind your avatar

And crying behind your smile

**

We’ve become alone together

Sitting in the same room

Breathing the same air

We are physically here

But not emotionally

In solitude, looking wistfully to each other

Wondering if we already have a life…

What are we doing online?!
