Not Quite So Lonely
A moment of self reflection
Peaceful, meaningful reflections
A moment alone, but not quite so lonely
It is just I and yet more than I
A room full of faces,
each carrying a distinctive voice
My attention wandering
shifting from voice to voice
The sweet melodic sound of a female voice
the gruff sound of a man's
Pieces of conversation that my ears pick up
only offer a glimpse into these stranger's lives
A young child giggles
before I fall back into my "me time"
A moment alone, but not quite so lonely
It is just I, but yet more than I
An empty seat sits across from me
Plenty of room for two at this table
There are couples, families, friends
Sitting together
occupying every table or so it seems
And yet I am not bothered, not embarrassed,
And certainly not lonely
It is just I
As I enjoy this moment - this time of self reflection
A treat to myself.
