Are you alone
Eating a meal, with only thoughts for company
In a new city, with no one to share the discovery
Or when the odd one out at a party, is you
Are you alone
At a hustling workplace, where no one cares if you’re gone
At home, with masks and shields in place
Or when sex masquerades as love, or may be the reverse
Are you alone
From birth till death, as mistakes we call experience
Foster the individual, denying our connectedness
To the eternal energy, of the universal spirit
So then is the answer, to this paradoxical loneliness
Welcoming death, as the gateway
To entering other forms of being
That perhaps, take us closer to the One source
Or is the answer
Hiding within the scattered array
We call living a full life
Waiting to be discovered
So are you alone
What do you feel
Right here and now

As I read this, I am reminded of the interconnectedness of all of us in this wild and woolly journey called life and of the delight in recognizing a voice that shares that truth with skill and ingenuity. A paradox indeed - that continues to challenge and delight - as does this poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Wonderful. I think we're all alone at different places and at different times of our life. I also feel that there are different kinds and strengths of lonliness. This piece is indeed a powerful study. (I don't mark, I'm not a teacher) If I did it's a 10.99 Steve
