Aloneness
Aloneness
isn’t that bad
it gives you
a fulfilling feeling within
when all that is without
seems noisy and disturbing
It’s your own hand
you hold to feel complete
with your right palm
wipe off tears
of your left cheek
Isn’t it comforting
to feel comforted
in your own bed of roses
to feel loved in
your own heart
of attacked pinions
Isn’t it lovely
to feel secure
with your own self
on a dark stormy night
to be able to hug tight
your own body and talk
to your own mind
in the mirror
which smiles back
To put a little bindi
on your forehead
even when it does not
signify bond or bondage
of any kind
To be loved by God
as the only parent and
saviour to have
who kept you safe
and loved even when
you were most
unsafe most unloved
.
