Alone

Alone




Music from the bird perched on a post

Notes to set free, the wind cannot shake



Writing on a page in the room of absent voices

Relentless words unsettling silence



Arching feet of a walker balanced on the wire

Strained thoughts caged, a distant soul



Rest on a chair of many memories

Find the peace to hear your hurt
