"To sleep to dream to wake to doubt / To have a broken or a bricked-up heart / Looking within looking without / To be alone together or apart?"

To Be Alone Together or Apart? Is everyone ultimately alone As loop and closed circuit joined end to end And never really understood nor known To others be they lover child or friend? Alone with thoughts of God or of the void Alone yet always seeking company? To be alone together is the goal Aloneness doubled but never destroyed Human beings seem predestined to be Singly or doubly alone at the soul The chasm never filled by orgasm The little death but foretaste of the great The still point in silence as hours grow late Calls higher than the mocking of the flesh That moment of communion in a sea Of misunderstanding and wounds made fresh I wonder is there hope for you and me? Could we undertake to make pilgrimage Called higher to the still point in an age Of anger and utter cacophony? To sleep to dream to wake to doubt To have a broken or a bricked-up heart Looking within looking without To be alone together or apart? +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV Silke LLC
