2 And I chose loneliness

The earth shed its drab and dreary cloak,

and the fragile buds painstakingly

unfurled themselves and saw the world

for the first time.

And I chose loneliness.

The sunlight caressed my hair,

Like a mother’s gentle hand.

And when I moved towards the shadows

The wind begged me to stay.

And I chose loneliness.

The leaves were a luxurious carpet beneath my feet,

And the children’s laughter echoed in the chilly air

playing hide-and-seek in the mist that hung

low and thick.

And I chose loneliness.

Stars filled the velvet sky, little jewels of light.

Lush snowflakes tumbled blindly through the darkness.

The world was cloaked in white innocence once again

Serenity ruled hand in hand with silence.

And I chose loneliness.

I built myself a fortress, a cold little heart that could not love.

I tread my solitary path, remembering

Happiness was offered, so was love.

Yet I shied away, afraid.

And I chose loneliness.
