Mind and heart

Unaccountably we are alone

Forever alone

And it was meant to be

That way,

It was never meant

To be any other way

And when the death struggle begins

The last thing I wish to see is

A ring of human faces

Hovering over me

Better just my old friends,

The walls of myself,

Let only them be there.

I have been alone but seldom

Lonely

I have satisfied my thirst

At the well of myself

And that wine was good,

The best I ever had,

And tonight sitting.

Seeing into the dark

I now finally understand

The dark and the light and everything

In between.
