Solitude

SOLITUDE Walking in the midst of nothingness around Not a whistle to be heard, not a cry, not a sound An ocean of tears forcing its way Is a blessing for many, as they say The trauma, the fear of being alone Preferred anonymity, yet clearly shone The reasons to smile were now a distant reality As it always is for a hapless commodity The wires of distress so closely entwined Was it a possibility my stars would shine? The hardships, for life, I was destined to befriend It seemed would go with me to the very end As here was a lonesome entombed in calmness Where the only companion to prize was darkness Never in my dreams had it scrolled my mind That beyond my world was a world to find But why should I cry when there’s none to listen After all every beginning needs an ignition As long as I live my heart shall keep pounding As peculiar as it may seem to me astounding For the caravan of life must, surely, walk its line A line so erratic yet so sublime With life and death now merely apart The choices at hand were amazingly stark But here I was still walking against the odds In hope of Thou, I live Oh God
