Alone: A Poem

Alone_in_park

ALONE


In the morning I will awaken, I will walk
In the clinging fog; myself
Will look about, and not see another,
Alone in the park, and break
The silence with breath and footsteps;
I will enjoy the grass and the trees
Seeing what is to see, and hearing what I can not
In the shadows of the dawn; and myself
With hands in my coat pockets,
Will smile in contentment, and
Plan for the day that will be.

***Copyright 12/2006

The poem was inspired by a poem: The Lonely Death by Adelaide Crapsey, the creator of the Cinquain ( 1878-1914 ).
