Alone
Morning has broken,
and I lie awake to greet it.
Lost is the sleep I needed
to face this new day.
The shedding of darkness
has broken the silence
and rain begins to fall
upon an earth reconciled to it.
I am alone in my thoughts
today - and as I expect
I shall always be -
alone in life.
There is no blame
just as there is no changing
what has been before.
There were choices to be made.
Perhaps, resting the eyes,
surrendering to the lullaby of the rain,
will soothe the sullen shell
I have harbored - alone.
