LIFE PAINT
RONALD WOODS 1965 (Los Angeles)
I sit alone in the dark
Unsure of what I see
Wondering how I got here
Or how I came to be
Am I just one of many
Following in a crowd
Or am I unique
Shouting creativity out loud
We all want to be loved
What does legacy mean
Is it what we see or feel
Or a places we have been.
Now I sit alone in the dark
My usefulness retired
Hoping to be seen again
Before my date expires.
By Ronald Woods
