Alone Not Lonely

Wanting to not be alone
is not always the same
as wanting to speak with someone.

Sometimes
being with someone
also feels like being here
and listening now
nurturing source for each Other,

Non-coincidental Me
evolving toward
co-incident WeView identity

Sometimes in fear
and sometimes in courageous curiosity,
in sickness and in health,
in serious doubt
and in playful dialogue,
in physical troubles and in spiritual wealth,
in competition and in cooperation,
in silence and within chatty talk therapy,
in separation and in synergy,
in solitude
and in compassionate solidarity

Wanting to not be lonely
and yet needing to deeply listen 
for emerging peace
never truly isolated.
