Alone, But Not Lonely
Alone but Not Lonely
By Augustus Quaicoe
Alone but not lonely
When all is said and done
and I'm left to myself only
when everyone is gone
When unending troubles, life seem
my mind, wonder yonder in despair
And each passing time, like a dream
I ponder on the fleeting moments of life, like air
Alone I sit, watching twinkling stars all night long
Butterflies settle on me, only when I sit calm
dancing to symphony in my head, I sing myself a song
I realize, that all life ‘s a psalm.
When you see me walk alone
Just know, I'm alone but not lonely
Alone but not lonely
no soothing breasts, to suckle
at a time of melancholy
slowly, I redraw to my cradle
when my soul is forlorn
I take solace in solitude
no shoulder to cry on
O how I long, being away from the multitude
At a time of perfect meditation
Detached from the elation of cheers
in my solemn moment of reflection
My mistakes, doubts and tears
When you see me walk alone
Just know, I'm alone but not lonely
alone but not lonely
O, how good it feels to be alone
to spend time with oneself, only
Detached from the hustle and bustle of life, unknown
I have no friend on the outside
A world full of charlatans
of betrayal, envy and foolish pride
a desert world of thorns and skeletons
worthless men, who do not know their left from right
Men with no sense of their own
So hostile to the upright
So on the sands of time, I choose to walk alone
When you see me walk alone
Just know, I'm alone but not lonely
Alone, perpetually let me rest
In my inner world of love so special
Alone I enjoy Serenity at its best
Peace, love, power, and infinite potential
I see brilliant beings unseen
when I withdraw into quiescence
Priceless company comes only from within
Priceless counsel, creep slowly, to my ears, in the breeze of silence
When life bruises hurt badly
Even my shadow forsakes me, whenever I walk into the dark.
From within, comes comfort so mildly
Against all odds, I leave my timeless mark.
When you see me walk alone
Just know, I'm alone but not lonely
There's a friend so true, from the day I was born
Ever speaking to me
From the break of dawn
Ever walking by me
From deep within, GOD gives to us
Answer to all life's mystery
Full of light, I sparkle like the stars
To love oneself, is life mastery!
At a time of turbulence
There is no treat so sweet,
No comfort so cooling
No counsel so complete
No solace so soothing
Compared to the precious time, I spend alone.
