WHEN I AM ALONE When I am alone I am wafted like a leaf struck with wonder In soften ways the breeze takes to boundless fields Falling from the tree in the winding hill stealthily Move in the unending roads of life to path unseen Echoing me in morn with smiling flowers in bowers Flying timelessly in a frightened journey by wind Falling over mud and slush and rising again in its roar Dries up more in sun and moist again on dew Bewildered in my flight so quick to the twilight glow Mingling in tears of old memory as a young one Pure and tender shining green in the lushly tree. When I am alone I find me for what I stand, for what I feel of truth Locked in my thoughts gazing the distance I travelled Slipping fast like sand under my feet in the tide of time Moving me to death, a fruit ripened to fall sure at night In its delusion or day in its illusion freeing fleeting joys Leaving my skeleton on shore without a name As I fondly hear with love frightens my face. When I am alone I drip into words like water of cascade in evening song Reading me between its lines my little heart writes As voice of God through me like fragrance from flowers Into our breath shadowing the grief of nights in its art Sweetly flowing from flute of soul for my own wonder Of me as a seed sown and mown in moments rare.
