Alone But Not Lonely

How did I ever even get here, to this lonely place, alone in this palace, this place of solitude, so quiet I can feel the warmth of Nok the cat sitting calmly, from a distance at the corner of the room window pane with eyes closed as if he's waiting for someone special to join us, oblivious of the world outside. Looking out from where I seated, I could see the trees dancing to the music played by the wind. I can also see a lonely bird sitting all alone like me, and I can't help but to think, if this lonely bird is also waiting for the lover to come.   Suddenly I felt a warm embrace of her hand around me, so comforting and reassuring, and within me I also know that it's going to be okay with that lone bird out there as I heard the song of another bird calling out to the one on the tree. Nok the cat was also picked up, for i could hear her purring with joy. It's not so bad after all at being alone but not lonely for a while. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.
