I thought about the place of loneliness today, saw it as trouble and remorse; a curse to my soul, I saw it as demons crawling through an open sewer, spreading ffilth and contamination and damning my every thought; As a cloud of soot-filled tears -- the weight of it no one could bear, and, as yet, we can't. Then I saw it as it is. A trick to hold my mind captive; to serve up a closed door. I know for as long as I live, there is only One. A solution so sweet and simple! Not alone! by myself; the option of choice. In my heart I choose to follow the path of life and joy. Peace in these places of solitude. I can hear the voice of the Lover of my Soul. He calls ever so softly to the places of learning. In a place of living that I could never achieve being lonely. In my home of recharging -- finding me once again. In the mirror looking at God smiling back at me.
