    The Face In The Crowd by Ernestine Lee

    Into the crowd one looks to see
    Is it a stranger or is others looking at me
    Stopping to wonder how life could be
    With memories from time as knowing me
    Am I a stranger before all the faces here
    I bend my head low to shed a tear
    Had it been so long ago
    All twenty five years or so
    How could I have escaped his care
    Letting life go by staying so unaware
    To become a face, frozen in a crowd
    Where so many faces stare so allowed
    Yet to see the face renewed in my mind
    Though the face has changed with time
    Back then it was life we had bared
    As life we knew , and life was shared
    Our love from youth, so devine
    Now only a face in the crowd of time

    Very nicely arranged and I understood every word of it well. Great read.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
