Is This Love&;#063;

How are you seen when you are invisible?
How are you heard when ears are deaf?
What is a hug without arms?
What is a kiss when lips are cold?
How do you smile when tears are near?
How does an empty heart become full?
How do you love if you are un-loved?
What is the purpose of life when life has no purpose?
How does an aching heart become pain free?
When does lonliness stop being lonely?
When does sadness cease to be sad?
How does selfish become selfless?
Faceless questions in a crowd of hope,
Truthful answers on a bed of lies,
Drifting on a sea of despair,
Reaching out for heaven's light,
Freedom found, soon to be mine.
