Alone

Sequestered
in this small niche of a loner life,
I am a sheltering lamp
held on high in a cloistered place.

No monk am I
nor hermit,
I walk with the multitudes,
dance the dance of the glad
and the sorrowing.

My small space
is tucked into a greater light,
where I reveal myself as alone
not just under any ordinary sun,
but as the Sun of all suns.

It is Good to be that Alone.
