Too much noise....

I have sought solitude, but I cannot be alone.

The Universe is present every moment, every now.

It is so strong that nothing can wipe away

The sense of being together....of being one.

All the thoughts, feelings and senses

Fire together and blend like the colors

Of leaves on an autumn day

Or the large beds of flowers

In a garden. What can one say?

There is a noise in the Universe

That cannot be put away

The moments interspersed

With an incessant BOOMP, BOOMP

BOOMP! A heartbeat, a pulse,

And being alone, I not only hear it

But am Part of the Race

Toward the time when all will become one

And One will become all

When life flows umimpeded

And there is nothing that falls

Between love and hate, war and peace,

Violence and compassion,

When being alone does not mean

Being solitary, and introspection

Doesn't mean selfishness.

Where all is encompassed within

The whole of life, and love

Becomes an all consuming passion.
