Upon My Own Company

I can sit alone with minutes
and minutes into hours
stacking them like bricks
and making many towers
so as I sit in towers
and thought’s a mighty wall
there’s depth within those minutes
until the towers fall

There is no safe sanctuary in which we can hide for very long, no matter where our thoughts take us. We're all eventually exposed at some point in life, whether we choose to be or not. Excellent showing without telling, Clive. Your poetry is always subtle, but distinctive.

Clive your work, always thought provoking! Have I interpreted a proper meaning? Safety in the realm of thought, when reality shall expose it's not.
