Aloneness

Everyone holds the castle of aloneness within them,
A niche where they disguise their individuality,
To perceive what they are not feeling,
Certainty and safety as the shield of the fort,
But one deep down in their heart understands it and gazes at the castle in the sphere of aloneness,
In the dark, under the moonlight,
One wanders to know the way if there is any,
The castle has multiple entrances and windows,
Which unlocks when a cool breeze teases it,
A staircase leading to the room which one never unfolds,
An evolving library of our experiences that we have forgotten,
And it has a secret trail full of darkness,
From tragedy to memories,
Everything stays there and it floats on the surface now and then,
To live is to walk that pathway fearlessly,
It can be hidden in stories, a person, or something entirely which doesn’t make sense, 
Most of the time one walks alone, while sometimes another person takes you there,
To reveal the beauty of aloneness in this emptiness,
To hear silent noises of all our guilt, shame, and anger,
To dance with the stillness of all our encounters,
To reach the rhythmic depths of our essence,
To see the hidden and to feel the unfelt,
A palace full of our fears, where one floats or drowns,
But there is a secret way,
Transitions in shadows,
Only if one walks through it…

    Priyanshi,
    That, and your line about feeling what we’re not feeling. This piece is so profoundly beautiful, I could meditate and reflect on any one of the lines.
    Thank you,
