solitude

this one is written a long time back probably around 2003

I stood up tp solitude
And looketh into her eye
"Who bindeth thee to
plague the lands and the sea?"
"I serve no master', she replied
"Every child is born with me inside
I stay with him through  his life
Sometimes hidden, sometimes realized
And when all worldly possessions fall aside-
On his death-bed , I survive
As his one and only confide"
"But", I objected,"What
about Beauty and Joy and the like?"
She smiled and said
"Illusions are not meant to stay,
Love shall always betray
I am the Eternal Truth
For Solitude is the soul of Mankind"
