Isolation
Under the winking sky, star
eyes wide and peering down
how can you be alone
with myriad of followers
from above, shining their
gleam on your red cheeks
day’s short sunlight like
a shallow pond where
you dip your feet, become
one with submerged lichen
stars eyeing you as if to say
let the night be as it may tomorrow
we shall compose another
song, a new tune to add
