Poem: Alone

I dwelt alone

On the other side of the sky vault,

Everyday as the sky was climbing

The darkening land in the west,

Forever with an unopened eye.

Blazing.

Shaking my mind and soul

With its white-hot radiance.

For now,

The night is senescent,

And is but a fragment

Of a dream within a dream

That steals me

Drowsily and musically,

With a lullaby sound.

It cries out

And extinguishes into a whisper

Around me,

I am left alone

Trembling from afar.

But then my thoughts pour out,

The truth is exposed.

A shadow dances

In the moonlight

All around me,

Singing.

My sorrow is awaken

But my loneliness is taken.
