From Loneliness To Aloneness

She was a little girl at heart Always chasing after butterflies But everything seemed to melt away Nothing she touched felt real The garden of life was full of beauty But all she felt was sorrow She was not trying to steal the light from anyone's face She was only trying to be happy But happiness seemed far away from her world She wanted to make herself a yacht To sail into the ocean of possibilities Where she will build a home But she was too scared to leave the shore So she gathered the rays of light Inside her trembling hands To try and ignite the beacon of hope But she fumbled and failed Only to stumble and fall Into the darkest night All her senses were lost And her body felt numb She was inside her inner world Everything was dark Everything seemed dilapidated From years of neglect But a small voice called her name With its kindness clearly defined She listened with all her being She listened to the voice of silence It was the most beautiful sound And she felt the hand of silence It was made of happiness She was inside the realm of possibilities She was finally home She was awake inside her dream Everything was real She was one with the aloneness ©
