Alone We Are
Was it in a dream?
I watched you!
Welcoming me,but not me,I watched like a hawk in the forest.
Distraught you became, alone you thought.
You are not alone. I am at the center of you,sometimes
watching the world through your eyes as disconcerting as this may be.
What have you done that I should be so near? A gift to me? Oh how wicked
is this place? Protect you I must, a short while I can only hope.
A stranger to me seeing the world through you!
My life is my own....not yours.
Speaking words I do not wish to know.
Distraught I become,alone I think. Watching the world through my eyes.
Keeping your promises.Do you keep mine?
Welcoming you, not me....as you watch.
Alone we think. Alone we are.
