The Divine Gift of Aloneness.

I have come as I will go – alone.

I have fallen as I have risen – alone.

I have sought as I have found – alone.

I have been a demon, as a light unto myself.

I have been nothing, and I have been all unto myself.

I have danced as I have stood – alone.

I awoke as I feel back into sleep – alone.

I have loved as I have longed – alone.

I have prayed as I have been blessed – alone.

Stars and seas have held my wanderings.

One moon and one sun witnessed my trials.

I have held on as I have collapsed, all on my own.

I waited as I ran and fought, on my own.

I walked upon highways and grass, alone.

I am here. I am here.

I have come all this way, whether blind or knowing, alone.

I have walked each step of the way, striding or stumbling, alone.

I have flowed the river, by stroke or by drift, alone.

I have kissed the stars, voided or full, all on my own.

I have spilled verse and heart, on my own.

I have sought as I have found – alone.

I have loved as I have longed – alone.

I have come all this way, whether blind or knowing, alone.

I have walked each step of the way, striding or stumbling, alone.

I have kissed the stars, voided or full, alone.

And so I rise, all on my own.
