alone :: sunshine1 :: Original Poetry

alone

Standing in the openness, I look to the sky

I see the wonder that God has given

Both for our survival and for our enjoyment

I still feel all alone

I walk to the water and stare across it

I watch as the waves interact

With the sand

I still feel all alone

I sit along the edge of a cavern

And look down at the expanse

I listen to my echo

And I feel so all alone

Then I climb the high mountain

Set before me

It is a long and weary climb

And I know I didn’t do it alone
