The Stillness Within

From stillness I’m born into a world of noise,
from there I walk alone.
I hold your hand but am removed from you,
my thoughts unshared, my deeds a singular quest.
In life detached, solitary in essence,
attached to my shadow alone,
freely secluded in my soul.

    I think some of us feel more alone than others. Nice as usual.

    I feel we are all very much alone, even if we have loved ones and family. There may well be connections between us all, but we are still individualised and therefore alone.

    Loneliness is a fierce force indeed. Hope you have a good weekend Shadow. :-)

    It is very lonely here sometimes ~ I want to find the noise and bustle of life but sometimes it is very still . . .

    in many ways we are alone in this world
    but hopefully along the way
    we find a few we can hold hands with.

    I believe that we learn a lot about ourselves in times of loneliness...

    Ah, but none of us are ever really alone in this world. Although, we are given the freedom to believe that we are--despite all evidence to the contrary. Alas, I do not have the words to express how so very glad I am to hear from you again.

    This is the best and worst part about lovers--connection and separation. Well captured.

    There is safety of mind and spirit in isolation. I think it is the body that requires companionship.
