Solitude Is Never Yours Alone

November 11, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is philosophy by the numbers.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical number poem about the eternal company that is always with you:

Solitude is never yours alone.
In your heart there's always company.
Xeroxes are not the same as mirrors
That render depths beyond what you can see.
Your soul is never solely on its own.

There is a sense in which you are on loan.
Here is not just here, nor can you be
Rushing merely, borne along by rivers,
Ending as time meets eternity.
Each moment is eternal, still as stone.
