Solitude

Everyone
Has their own
Thoughts alone
Dreaming alone
Suffering alone
Tumbleweed, rolling stone
To be alone is foregone

Light of the day
Doesn’t give mirth
Dark of the night
Does not rest
Sun rays expose
Hidden wounds
Under the moon bloom
Mournful thoughts

By day — locust devour
At night — camel spiders on a prowl
By day — sizzling heat
At night — howling wind
