HOME ALONE


My faithful companion

Creeps in at the nick of time

To consecrate to himself

My toilsome flesh and soul

And as a compelling sleep

The sailor to the dreamland

Courts me on the intimate journey

Where rest opens door to creation

And as we alight at the creator’s realm

My fangs all buried

In my pouting pen

Oppressing the pleading papers


Loneliness, I hear your silent steps

I can not miss your sweet fragrance

You are my friend of intuition

I can not but heed your call

When I seem in crowd to be

With you in my world of thought

I am all alone

In spite of crowd or hall of fame

Chancing upon let downs

Riding upon want of tasks

The cleansing tonic apply

All broken hearts and idleness refined


How I love your solitary camps

How I crave for hermitage

The whole world for loneliness

Is not a balanced barter

For in loneliness, the world came to be

Who calls you what you are not?

Cast your spell on me at will

Take me to my root

Make a Moses of me

Impart the wilderness grace

Of forty days and nights

Take me beyond the ephemeral

To the busy world of loneliness

The place to be with the Alpha

The moments we feel alone can be put to better use. we feel lonely when we are broken hearted, when we feel unwanted, or even when we are less busy, idle.

Rather than becoming the devil's workshop, such moment could be used for creative work. We need to pull away from the crowd atimes to think and be creative. Come up with ideas that can transform our lives.
