Unfamiliar Ground
Does loneliness strike when entering a new space,
that we choose, or is chosen for us
Is the isolation a door to where we must go,
a new portal, our spirits in flux
Is being alone the price that we pay,
breaking through, old walls to come down
Fresh voices to translate, new whispers to hear
—as we tread unfamiliar ground
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
