I love being alone, but I’m not lonely <br />I sit with my Love which is my one and only <br /> <br />When alone, in the spring of Life I am rooted <br />To ward off attachments I tread in this world, with aloneness I’m booted <br /> <br />Aloneness is to be with oneself comfortable <br />It only costs me my presence; what could be more affordable? <br /> <br />In my aloneness I’m one with my breath <br />The stillness is inexplicable, I could even welcome death <br /> <br />On the other side of nowhere my Beloved will rejoice <br />To be alone when I consciously make a choice <br /> <br />Seeking perfect companionship for long I have been deluded <br />Only through my aloneness I seek my perfect Beloved <br /> <br /> <br />09.07.2009<br /><br />Bindu Vidyadhar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-not-lonely-2/
