Like a hermit she lived
In the midst of people
Always there but not there at all
Visible and yet veiled
How long, she wondered…
How long to carry on
This lonely journey…
This existence of non-existence?
The end will be another beginning
They say…
How will it be, she wondered
The next long journey?
Very true. Shakespeare had it Hamlet act 3, "to die, to sleep, perchance to dream. For in that sleep of death what dreams do come", or words to that effect as it was from memory.
