Searching for an answer

I see a lot of people on auto pilot. They carry a blankness of expression that suggests there just strolling though life. Other people seem to dance to a different beat. Life is not to be squandered but they are damned if they know what to do about it.
People wait for something to drop into their lap…some kind of miracle that will enhance their existence.
So now the deadline of today has passed. It feels like one chapter has been closed and another is approaching.
It ends in a dark and empty fashion. I don’t feel upset or down but just hopeful next time it will be something real.
