Getting Over the Lost and Lonely (poem)

For days on end, I thought
of you, only to realize:
I can't be your Jesus,
I can only be my personal Buddha.
No matter how hard I try,
all my wishful thinking
will not cure another soul.
All that I can do
is to try to nurture
the friends who are not lost
in the castles of the mind.
The only thing I can do
for the lost and lonely
is to just let them be.
