      The Introvert!

Alone, here AM I, all alone!
within the precincts
of this dark, silent room,
an ‘adventurer’ upon
tempest-tossed seas
   of thought,
a deserted island
in endless time....
crying out with
voice like the wind
through lost caverns
    of emptiness,
the echoes return
to mock their inventor.
Shadows close in about me,
I face them all,  alone!

Beautiful ... but remember you are not completely alone -- you have your muse to guide you!

"crying out with

I can really feel that chilling isolation.
Very "Caledonia noir".

But you're not alone here, Bruce.
