STARK REALITY of ALONENESS


STARK REALITY
of ALONENESS

Time To Rest Now, You Have Had
Quite a Nap, Young Lady
I Can Vividly Experience Your Dreams
As You Did
You Slept, But Did Not Rest

You Went From One End of the Universe
To The Other
From One Planet to the Next
You Have Discovered
What Few Other Mortals Know
Well Enough To Abide In

You've Seen Life in All of its Glory
Stark Reality of Aloneness
Has Bestowed
A Wonderful Truth Your Way

You Now Understand The Concept That
You Are Filled When You Are Empty
To Be A Hollow Reed

With The World of Imagination
Contained Within
The Key To Life Is Just This -
Silence and Darkness



The first and last lines from
''Lullaby'' by
Louise Gluck
