Lone: a state of existing, never alone nor being lonely.

Stop doing and start being. Notice exactly how you’re feeling.

It’s easily confused as waiting, but the lone are contemplating.

Stare beyond the farthest horizon, into pasts, futures; dreaming, enticing.

Looking deeply with intent, seeing nothing of the scene upfront.

One steady tree as the human storm of existence rages.

A world of your own is such a better one.

You close your eyes to stay locked inside. Not escape.

The lone seek the answer towards which observation advances.

A simple silent song, deeply perceived impressions. Oranges and lemons.
