Alone


alone in a forest of loneliness

an island have become,

closing the door to anyone

who wants to get close...

trees protect me against enemies

the leaves provide shelter

a hollow trunk shields me

from light's onslaught...

animals gather me for comfort

that we provide each other,

birds and crickets sing me to sleep

the morning crows awaken me,

I am what I am and am regretless

basking in the friendships

that offers no pain...  my eyes

seek out truth from the environment

she offers up her secrets

for a price...  it is paid by my

presence and protective nature,

and life leaves me satisfied.
