Alone and Not Alone

I am surrounded by silence, yet I am not alone.

I thrive in darkness, yet I am not alone.

I am alone, and not alone.

There lives inside me, an expansive world.

A world of wonder; of light and dark.



The darkness shivers; it does not like my comfort.



Yet, when I look out I see another world.

One ever moving; ever changing.

Full of life, yet distant.

Sometimes I venture into that world.

I grasp for its embrace, but I find only silence.



Then…I feel alone.
