a certain aloneness
March 13th, 2005i feel a certain aloneness
that one might not see
this barren, lonely quietude
so empty, yet tranquil
ingrained in the
hidden recesses of
my mind
at times
stripped, from the feeling
of being connected
a distance overcome
by imagination
as remote as a star
i am calm
though weary
i am peaceful
yet sad
in a valley
so hidden
it beckons
to me
in a dream
dark
clouds
overhead
looking up
from the bottom
of a deep canyon
still hoping
waiting in dark slumber
if i should awaken
from this dream
and cast
away my sorrow
brought by a dream
that would not let me go
and so i wait
and
listen
for the darkness
to become the dawn…
