Self-Elusive

Have you ever thought?
I am alone
Far from ones self sitting as a stone 
One in a trillion
But are your really alone?
Think of the clock its ticks and sitting alone 
And chimes strangely in your home 
Then you say I am truly on my own 
No one to call on me 
Far from a touch and a plea 
No you’re not really alone 
Your mind has called on you, a companion 
A talking tone 
It takes on personalities 
And conversations that groan
Alone you say 
Think of the speck dust 
Floating invisibly by a quiet in gust 
No true object is really exclusive 
So my thoughts on this matter are really inconclusive

This is thought provoking. Sometimes I feel it is impossible to feel alone with so much life constantly around us, not meaning people. Other times, I deeply feel the true essence of alone, even in the midst of a crowd of people. So well written Laura, gets the reader thinking. Love, Shar
