Aloneness
Click to enlarge
I walked by the sea today,
Aloneness as near to me
As the white foam
Washing away the footmarks
Of my last moments passing,
Leaving but an awareness
Of presence
Amid the ancient song
Of the seas endless reach
Upon the eternal sand.
Is this not the woe of life
For all of us?
We are placed alone
In each succeeding moment,
A singular piece of consciousness
Rushing forth our longings
For a oneness so known, yet lost,
That we must reach for it
With each breath of our living.
