ALONE:

I´m not lonely, merely wishing to stand alone,

Like the old contented dog gnawing his bone,

 I apologise to nobody, nor do I wish to atone,

By wanting to just be in my own solitary home,

I´m not lonely, I merely wish to stand on my own.

I´m the last golden leaf upon the autumn´s trees,

I´m happy laughing lark sailing on wafting breeze,

I´m single dew-drop washed away on errant seas,

I´m the crystal icicle dripping in the winter´s freeze,

So do not ever call me lonely, I beg of you please.

I´m the first star in the heavens appearing too soon,

The sun above, warm & alone in new summer´s June,

Mighty & brilliant, I´m the only blue midnight moon,

I´m that tiny single grain of sand that forms the dune,

I´m not lonely, I´m not the song, just the echoing tune.

So, leave me be, I am not lonely, merely alone.
