Poem 12: Gathering

to meet with people
can be a joyous thing
you share, commiserate, or
a smile to others bring

and yet, sometimes,
to be in a large group
can lead your bright spirits
into a lonely droop

a friend may be waiting
amongst the busy crowd,
or distant and unkindly glares
could leave your warm heart cowed

thus, do not despair if you find,
a cold, unwelcome greeting
for in a moment you may see
the sole sweet grin in the meeting
