Alone with My Thoughts

     Alone with my thoughts
        I discover who I am
     exploring heretofore hidden 
       chambers of a neglected soul

     Alone traversing the ocean’s shore
        I debate the shifting tides of life
     Vicissitudes too subtle to detect, trapped 
        in the traumas of family life 

     Alone at holiday time
        grateful for a reprieve
     from endless sniping sessions
        I take the pulse of the season, and find myself!!

     Alone, preparing to die 
        Miserable wretch, I
