Do I Mind, Alone, Just Being Thought Silly?

Alone… would I be wrong to call myself a fool? Knowing full well, alone one never is? Better, much better to say ‘Alone from’. Alone from friends, from loved ones From employment, joy and/or satisfactions. Even then… perhaps not? Maybe instead we are just visiting A lone transfer station called ‘change’… Waiting, having been invited to new pastures. But alone… Never. Not in birth, not in passing on Especially not in living on this Earth. For in your, in my own current time Here, there always is, this Earth For great, interesting, and loving company. Earth, our home in this life’s time Ever ready for sharing connection To its elements, vibrations, and it’s wildly diverse life. Pity any, thinking humans are the all of it. And if not, next to another like form… sadly or safe, alone. ___*___ Oh moan that predicament, a sin upon sins taught. Imprinting each of us with the arrogance That without another close by Alone stands begging like a bum for some earned loved company. Laugh loudly at such, dance away within, and on many choices Of wondrous fields... of each’s own making. Free... with wild, vibratory living, surrounding, in balance. ___*___ Just make sure it includes... And remains in responsible synergy With other Earth companion travelers. Earth Life, just waiting for our call with open eyes Our willful attentions, our company, our heart sense… To spring forward in a joined dance Just for each one of us, with me, with you. Through eternal seasons, sharing the whole show Seed, to plant, to flower, harvest And then regeneration. For as we pass through phases, so do all too go. Come, and go again within Place, Time, and Space Being the only constraints holding back full, free intent. ___*___ And as hearts loving together beat In wind, water, fire, earth, and spirit So too, are we all matched in balanced rhythms. Sing us wild happy, daring songs then... Dancing barefoot among flowers. All in continuity, springing eternal, if you but let it Never did I accidentally dance on a bee attending a flower. ___*___ Alone? Say that laughing to the Sun setting, in love, promising its return. Waiting for our welcoming smile At the breaking of each new day As brother Moon reflects its reminder “I am still here too”. Say that to the nights offering peace and life-resting Inviting dreams of further places waiting… Free for each of us, golden line connecting If need be, far away... home... Where souls find and know abundance in true measure In sure knowledge, of never-to-be loneliness. Oh, don’t listen to those with chains ever-ready to bind As if some deserved dark room lies waiting. Visit your Self then, remembering Life Beyond Understanding waits… Yours and everyone else's. ___*___ I found the One that smiles In eternal loving kindness... ‘Are you learning?’ Invite It, Self, to sound you well On truth and ancient wisdom's... For all the books are now flung open. ___*___ And so live well there, and here Your days as God intended, in good Earth company. Working, doing your share responsibly. Uplifting life, and living, free In partnership balanced Walking through life as Nature intended Fair-values trading. Taking no more than that freely given And in good thanks… Repaying kind value in like kind. Being kind is not hard If you but freely let it. ___*___ And sing us all in the chorus’s of humble Lagniappe... Giving a little more than asked Just for the giving of it... So that peace and prosperity reigns in good measure On an Earth property placed, in our caring heart and mind For all the days of our living. Students learning. So be that. So be It.
