Alone

Unable to sleep, I was walking silent streets late at night. I found myself standing, standing alone in full darkness. Deep in thought and reflection with no one near to share. If I do not think when alone, is then possible to dream? If I think and dream but do not share am I invisible? The billion cells of my being cry out for another to share, for sharing is the conduit through which I relate and confirm my existence. By sharing we can perceive internal and external realities and truth. There thought and dream could implode and explode. Together we could perceive if light is arrows piercing the deepest darkness, if waves of dusk wash the fading sun to other distant shores. Alone 10-28-16
