Sunset
On the veranda

I watch as you enter
Into my home

You talk of rescue
Return to a world
I left long ago

Pray Dear Sir
As stars appear

What makes you think
I want to be found

Frightening?  No.  Curt, to the point,
no one to climb the walls one might build...yes.

But to desire to have that much alone time?
Perhaps, disturbing.

Although everyone must take on their own needs,
overall, to be understood.

love the quality time this portrayed...and that moment you experienced...fear not the want for alone time....we are a society of needing people...a society that tells us we should be a couple to be sucessful, a society that tells us, what we should think, feel, enjoy...if your happy John, with who you are, then marvel, ask not what is normal...who can tell you what makes you happy, gives you great peace...for I to, walk this path...and it astounds me, how very much I've grown from the independence, the great joy and inner vision I've accomplished...the autonomy of my own life, visiting with the who of who I am, and enjoying the company I keep...
I love people, but I don't need them to be happy...and I don't need to be told what should make me happy or what should not...or that I need a husband to be complete...I am complete...and have never been happier.  Fear usually comes from what can't be understood...I fathom your confidence to go forward searching the path within...some people are simply not meant to be married or in a relationship...doesn't make them wrong...be contented in life...and enjoy that light that comes to visit your veranda....

We are all bound by something, duty, conscience, love, truth, and sometimes we must all obey.
