"To Be Alone Together or Apart?"
Is everyone ultimately alone

As loop and closed circuit joined end to end

And never really understood nor known

To others be they lover child or friend?



Alone with thoughts of God or of the void

Alone yet always seeking company?

To be alone together is the goal

Aloneness doubled but never destroyed



Human beings seem predestined to be

Singly or doubly alone at the soul

The chasm never filled by orgasm

The little death but foretaste of the great



The still point in silence as hours grow late

Calls higher than the mocking of the flesh

That moment of communion in a... More > sea

Of misunderstanding and wounds made fresh



I wonder is there hope for you and me?

Could we undertake to make pilgrimage

Called higher to the still point in an age

Of anger and utter cacophony?



To sleep to dream to wake to doubt

To have a broken or a bricked-up heart

Looking within looking without

To be alone together or apart? < Less
