Alone

Unable to sleep, I was walking
silent streets late at night.

I found myself standing, standing
alone in full darkness.

Deep in thought and reflection
with no one near to share.

If I do not think when alone,
is then possible to dream?

If I think and dream but
do not share am I invisible?

The billion cells of my 
being cry out for another to share,

for sharing is the conduit through
which I relate and confirm my existence. 

By sharing we can perceive internal
and external realities and truth.

There thought and dream
could implode and explode.

Together we could perceive if light
is arrows piercing the deepest darkness,

if waves of dusk wash
the fading sun to other distant shores.

                             Alone     10-28-16

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
