When You Are Alone: Poem

 When You Are Alone

Sometimes you get lost

In the silent act or post.

Emptiness beyond belief.

No familiar touch and look

When you are lost in silent act.

It is a real fact, I checked,

To smooth the pain

You do not say anything at all

When you are alone.

No familiar hand to hold

Because there is nobody to call.

There is no voice to calm the fear,

When you are getting old.

Unseen, unfold, and untold

When dissolving in silence

Because you say nothing at all. –

Instead, try to stand tall

When you are alone.

Do not fall

When you are alone in silence.

Instead, learn to make your own trance.
