Alone In The Dark, Pondering

Alone In The Dark, Pondering

Alone,

in the dark

No one

To share with

To talk to

Pondering

the questions

of life

and death

The limitations

the vulnerabilities

The felling

to diseases

accidents

Old age

decay 

and death

Philosophies

no more

than mere

intellectual

self

consolations

Religion

opaque, 

distant

expressions

of prophets

past,

taken as

incontrovertible

divine voice

Oh,

thou and thee......

Alone,

in the dark

No one

To share with

To talk to

Pondering,

pondering,

pondering..............
