• I stand
    alone
    in silence
    my lone companion
    non existent
    yet impenetrable
    waves of nothingness
    breaking
    swelling
    surrounding
    subduing
    the silent spell
    a story told
    with no words
    the waking dream
    of being alone
    the pulsing rhythm
    of an invisible drum
    that makes no sound
    flowing serenity
    the kind of peace
    that only comes
    when alone
    the kind of silence
    that no one hears


    the silence wavers
    wanes,


    and shatters
    like a breaking mirror
    the image lost
    in a thousand pieces
    the silence gone
    my companion has fled
    never to be regained
    and i find myself
    truly
    alone
