Notes About The Poem

Aloneness

Unlike being alone
Celibacy is a choice
A commitment to oneself
Maybe for a lifetime
Maybe for a growth cycle

Celibacy is a desire
a need to focus
to reevaluate

Celibacy is a spiritual journey
concentrating with minimal distraction
time alone to reflect
to hibernate
then re-emerge
cocoon
metamorphize
journey inward
explore the great depths of the self

Something that many people don't understand but does give peace.
