Alone is alright
I am good company
There are books in the corner
Stories waiting their turn
Violins in the air
Weaving peace in my heart
Twinkle lights twinkling
In bright cheery shapes on the wall
Crossing off quests from the lists that I keep
Each adventure leads to a new mystery
Alone is all right
After all this time
Turn up the music and sing
Turn up the music and dance
I fold myself this way and that way
I stretch out beyond these four walls
In contemplation I grow like a vine up the trellis
My mind flowers and releases each seed of new hope
I am right where I need to be
Doing my thing
I show up with love
Conscious and aware
I choose every day to be here and to stay
To do my best by the people I pass on the way
The secret is that I am never alone
My solitary existence is watered and grown
By the love of my family and friends near and far
Infrequently touching by phone or by message
Our prayers for each other are always a blessing
There is plenty of room
There is plenty of space
In this way
To reach out to people I haven’t met yet
For the ripples of love to touch more than my circle
My purpose is greater than self satisfaction
Playfully playing with life’s interactions
I let down the walls that defined me
Turned up the flames of the fire that refined me
Over and over again I take wing
Flying free from the ashes of yesterday’s woe
You put a torch to a beautiful thing
Burning, I hold your gaze as I sing
Alone is alright
I am good company
Alone is all right
There’s no wrong to this song
I take wing
