Alone No More

Channels within the windblown grass and contoured shifting sand, stretch-probing as a spindle tree, rouse echoing murmurs of the easeful sounds of solitude, the slumberous sea, and me. Entranced and mindful on this wild hypnotic shore, Solitary maybe, and yet, alone no more.

Thank you Heidi. There’s much to be said for moments of solitude, when we can see beyond the everyday humdrum and clamour of life.

loneliness is sometimes blessings; it's the process of self-realization

Agreed, but often hard to bear. The difference between alone and lonely. Thank you for this comment.

Are the waves Peter not waving back at you as if to say. No you are not alone

Yes as we advance we see things more clearly which is ironic considering our sight starts failing.

There's something wonderfully hypnotic about your poem. You seem to be at one with yourself and nature within it. Love this. Cheers - Gary
