People and I

by Shernaz Wadia

I strike the chords of their minds
With fingers of intelligence
And discordant sounds reverberate

I grope for the sympathy of their hearts
With the chill of despair in mine
But stiff indifference greets me

I probe the hidden depths of their eyes
With a ray of hope in mine
And frustration smiles ruefully back

I woefully turn my gaze inward
Calm and triumphant stands there
The personality I seek around me
