Solitude

 

Do not stand by me

extend no hands

let me go alone  

on the meandering paths  

and gaze at the

changing ,moments  

alone, just alone.

Let me weight the  

efficacy of  my soul

and will power  

to discern between ignorance

and the truth

to observe the various

hues of light and shade.

Let me know myself

do not stand by me

I should go along.
