The Speed Of The Sound...

"Lift Up Our Hearts With A Smile"
---Ziggy Marley

The best things about life often pass me by.
I'm not alive in some sense of the word.
I get up everyday and I go about my day,
but I am alone.

And that's OK, that's alright--God made me that way.
To be alone for me is good. For me.
Not for everybody. I see the couples and I feel lonely,
and more alone.

Is the world ready for another day with me in it?
Am I to be welcomed and enjoy this day?
Yes, I am. I have some things to do today and tonight,
with ones I love, all alone.

I am alone writing this. I could not see this if I were not alone.
I have to be alone to be comfortable and free to think. And so,
all alone is necessary for me to be free and for
me to be able to see.

God made me all alone and has intend's for me to be alone and free.
And so, I am and destined to remain this way.
I always feel my aloneness and wonder what I missed.
(The kindness and intimacy of another soul)

Love I am so free to give away, will it ever be returned?
To me that sadness of being alone--
Living, dying alone and being alone is my God's will.
For me to live alone.

All of the lessons I learn along the way will forever die too,
unless I share them with you.
All alone I sit here and write into this box--all alone--
I have a place to share the loneliness.
