Another one...


Of all the times that I walked the long road,
It is now, that I feel so lone.
Many-a-day have I spent beneath the bright sun
with only the length of my shadow marked all along.
Yet it is now that I feel so lone.

And when they came, along life's twisting lane,
and their shadows touched mine,
I wished -
that I wouldn't be alone.

And for all those shadows that slipped away,
and the waves that didn't care to stay,
I realize –
that I am alone.

And for all that I've ever wanted,
Being me is all that was granted,
And as the length of my life stretches on,
This too, I shall walk alone!


-- Moi.
