Where Without Whom - Paz

No bird disturbs the evening. 
The trees stand 
Like unfinished thoughts. 

I call my name, 
And only silence answers. 

Somewhere 
Between memory and mist, 
I misplaced myself. 

And now 
Even my shadow 
Walks alone.

This sense of loneliness is the most acute problem tormenting most of the men. We have lost our identities. Well expressed.
