Nowadays my days are still, and slow.
I see, and hear from, very few people,
and whilst the people who are near me
are all out looking for something new,
nearly nobody is looking out for me.
In my aloneness I hear the news bulletins
where it is no exaggeration to me to say
the bigger country, the bigger the statistic,
the emptier the story feels.
I still have a heart and I engage well,
when I feel I am invited to.
But uninvited and alone I remain myself.
I am happy to sit apart.
I don't need to be part
of any temporary 'growth'.
and activity I see around me.
