Am I alone?
There is no clock in my bedroom. I cannot feel the time pass here. In the dim warm light of red and white and earth hues, I am alone with your thoughts, your images, your words and your dreams. I am alone here . Yet all the creases of the bed,the fall of the curtain, the walls the hearth envelop you in them, though you have never been here . My thoughts, my feelings, my action, they all belong to you. You live inside me as a living, breathing being. I don't know if you are a being or an emotion, but never for a moment am I without you. You are so so far away. I am busy, and you even more so...I love my work, and so do you...yet i feel hollow when I don't hear your voice plaintively asking me to tell you about my day, there is love here...in this Age of frenzied activity and virtual communication, we are bound in our lives and living with each other through these gadgets, these toys that we have. My heart doesnt ask me why, what, how. When it comes to you, it just Is. I just know that you will make it happen, that i can count on you whether near or far.And that is no small comfort because..you are an oasis of peace in my splintered existence..your warmth makes me forget my fears, my self doubt and My inhibitions(not that I have many), your smile makes me believe again that there is goodness in this world. Despite everything, despite everybody. And it is not tinplate, it's gold. And for me, it is enough.Enough for me to close my eyes and look forward to another day.
