Solo

I lay here surrounded by all
that is dearest and familiar and bold
I'm quite out of my mind in so much
as to say what is seeing and what is not

To be so low in that sea of water
as to see only the tip of a sunrise
Or to be so high on a mountain of rock
as to see the world's beauty and breathe it all in

To go solo and discover my all -
every step consumed only by myself
Or to have someone - a soulmate who can share
my inner being and deepest self within

What is to see is only to discover
and what is worthwhile lay only to be seen
Deciding what is seeing straight and what is not
may uncover all of my dreams

At the start of this path that has many directions -
a wealth of experience tied to my back -
the bearing I choose may seem irrational at first
But I'll reflect when my chapter is closed
