Are you alone br Eating a meal, with only thoughts for company br In a new city, with no one to share the discovery br Or when the odd one out at a party, is you br br Are you alone br At a hustling workplace, where no one cares if you’re gone br At home, with masks and shields in place br Or when sex masquerades as love, or may be the reverse br br Are you alone br From birth till death, as mistakes we call experience br Foster the individual, denying our connectedness br To the eternal energy, of the universal spirit br br So then is the answer, to this paradoxical loneliness br Welcoming death, as the gateway br To entering other forms of being br That perhaps, take us closer to the One source br br Or is the answer br Hiding within the scattered array br We call living a full life br Waiting to be discovered br br So are you alone br What do you feel br Right here and now br As you read this?br br Anita Atinabr br
