Wednesday 11/4/09 - "I AM ALONE"

ALMOST WORDLESS WEDNESDAY
"I AM ALONE"

I call this an almost wordless Wednesday because I have blogged this poem before. It is my favorite, most cherished one and these pictures are a visual expression of the words I wrote.

I AM ALONE

I am alone
Amidst a wide expanse
Of flame and frenzy bright
I tower far above
A meadow bursting forth
In wild, profuse delight

I am alone
Yet know a voice
Of petals bending in the breeze
I reach to hear
Yet only catch the wind
I listen past my ears

And I hear the vastness
Of the thousand petals
Stretching out beyond my sight
A feather bed in which to lie
Cascade around my head
A velvet, silk-soft coverlet

And I am not alone
Nor alien in their midst
They offer forth their honey scent
Show off their coverings bright
Bend gently to my softest touch
And whisper we are one
