Alone

Alone is a place I go

That feels a lot like home

Silky and smooth with inner delight

As candles flicker

And low lights glow

In the deep solitude of night

Here in the silence

Is where I find my peace

This is the space

My soul feels most complete

As all around I feel the spirits of the dead

Remembering all the secrets they shared

About tears they shed

In complete and heartbreaking isolation

This depth for me is never empty

You see

But entirely full

Of the mystery

And at this the most interior time of year

As honour myself

While abandoning the superficial cheer

It is within the alone

That I find my warm

It is deep within the silence

That I most easily hear

My soul’s truest voice
