Singular

A party of one

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

So, are we still beautiful

If no- one speaks it?

Are we still intelligent

if no- one remarks it?

Are we still loveable

if no- one proclaims it?

What if

It can’t be spoken?

It can’t be remarked?

It can’t be proclaimed?

Are we still us,

made in the image of God?

Lacking in some eyes,

but perfect in His.

So, in the end,

it’s better to be alone

than poorly surrounded.

Haiku
