Solitude & Longing

Beyond solitude
Beyond being alone
After the being yourself
Being lost, being found
Being in stasis, in crisis.
Being a work in progress, a human, being a mess
Being yearned for and yearning for your self
Being alone amongst many
Being in silence, being in commotion
Being quiet, being in a cacophony
Beyond all these and much more is longing
Coming home after journeying for ever
And a day to this day of longing

Solitude & Longing is a (short)ode to longing
