In A Lost Crowd Poem by Barry Middleton

In A Lost Crowd



isolation's hiding place
is in the mind
for there we see
hermits of every kind

the schizophrenic beggar
on the street
is a rhapsody in rags
without conceit

the shut-in widow
now is seldom seen
an overgrowth of hedges
are her screen

the old bachelor
feels his life has ended
and dwells in books
with fantasy pretended

and some are born
to seek the hermit's roll
the mystic madding poets
of the soul
