walk alone br Darkness enfolds me br Isolation becomes me br I walk alone. br On the rough hard sands br Of blotted darkness br I walk alone. br Watching - br as others pick their path. br I walk alone br embracing the sweet night br As my bruised soul emerges br From its lonely walled home, free. br As the darkness hides identity, obligation br And allows for unobtrusive observation br to admire the eternal power br Of the elemental forces br Which suffuse me with strength and purpose? br And fill me with a fleeting moment - br of peace and yearning. br The sand softens and I labour. br Reluctantly everything returns br behind the walls br And the artificial light br Calls me back into the reality br Of my lonely existence br I wait for the next time br I can watch the sky br and be at peace. br I walk alone.
