Comfortably Alone

Deep in the crevices of the steepest mountains,
The wild grasses of time grow slowly,
Unaware and without a care of even the sun’s warmth---
Still, prosperous green blades sway happily,
Comfortably alone…

Winter is in itself a beauty unmatched,
With a humbleness that sings of content.
White sparkles of ice memories
Drift slowly and patiently upon a cool breeze,
Down to a heartless and hardened ground,
Vanishing upon a kiss,
Heartbroken but passionate still,
Comfortably alone…

Watch a child sleep
And marvel at innocence in its purest form;
Imagine the thoughts that form their deep slumber
And perhaps you will find yourself in heaven,
Bouncing playfully on gentle clouds,
Laughing and smiling in the solitude of dreams;
But even the stars are awakened by reality,
Causing the still form in the darkness to shift quietly,
Comfortably alone…

Just over the rainbow is a heart that bleeds gold,
Painting the skies past eternities threshold,
In a brilliance that rivals the auburn sunset.
I am often misunderstood in my broodings,
As I sit upon the world’s horizon of thoughts,
Dreaming, smiling and often searching my memories,
Comfortably alone…

Marcel
