I was so lonely
That I built a world
A universe of life and beings
To share my love with.
Only my loneliness never left
No matter how many relationships
Crowded stadiums
Or dinner parties
I threw myself into.
It seems to be
A tragic part of who I am
A core issue.
…..
So I begin to have
compassion for others
And their loneliness.
The tragic beauty of it.
…..
Then, for myself
Who tried so hard
To escape this sadness
To no avail.
…..
And finally, wonderfully
for the Divine Goddess Herself
So lonely She was willing
To give up Her Divinity
To share this Uncontainable Love.
…..
Today I cry for You, Dearest Friend.
I love You even with Your beautiful solitude.
It makes You almost human.
So close I can put my arm around You
While we weep together
…..
Yes, together
…..
Loving our loneliness
Our shared fate
As we let go of
This beautiful world
We dreamed
Together
Into being.
