by Sasami

Solitude echoes unbidden
Throughout my soul and heart -- 'Alone'
Is the sound of the cloister bell
That rings endlessly from the depths
Of my mind, whether I bid it
Toll or not, yet silence it I
Cannot. It is so sad, its sound
Resonating throught me, but
I need the light of happiness.
So these I hold dear shall not need
To leave me in an unstable
Condition to maintain their own
Happiness. Yet, sadly, oft the
Bell does ring true -- sometimes I am
Solitairy, and those are timies
I do not need to know those truths
So well. Loneliness is my foe,
But I know my enemy well.
