Loneliness

           LONELINESS

                It is not good for man to be alone…
                Genesis 2:18
 
To part, aligning thoughts with mind's commands,
Through fasting, lift emotions to the skies,

To live alone, yet hearts in gentle hands,
Warming each other where true comfort lies.

With tears, we cleanse like wax from flames that stay,
For words and deeds and forms to be made pure,

As yogis bathe in sacred river's way,
In holiness, let our resolve endure.

I doubt your Rubicon is crossed and done,
Not like for Chud or Merins long ago,

For us, "out of sight" is a tale begun,
A myth that humankind devised to show.

Let flesh divide, yet souls remain entwined,
I'll wait and seek to learn this lonely art,

O God, grant strength and peace within the mind,
To bear this solitude within my heart…
