I stand alone;
I am an island.
I see nothing,
feel nothing,
need nothing.
I am the last of my breed,
an icon;
I stand alone.
Unless –
you want to stand with me?

Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
A beautiful and positive poem. I like the ending a lot. Need to open a door for friendship and opportunity.
Right! Thank you… 🙂
I do… I do… mind blowing 🙂
hugs xoxo
Thanks Olivia!
Good morning, Melody. Lovely and true poem. Blessings always, Ellen
Good morning, Ellen! Thank you! 🙂
In the spiritual life, our “I” is so because of the “we.” They contextualize and give meaning to each other. Sociologist Martin Buber describes it as the “I/Thou” relationship from which we find strength, purpose, and identity.
Cool synopsis. I didn’t even need a dictionary this time! 🙂 ha ha
What’s a…dixshunnairee?
i dunno. ( I think it’s a big book to help me understand your big high-falutin’ words!) 🙂
You’re being punctiliously vituperative of my overwrought verbosity.
I’m wha? lol You crack me up. 🙂 I’d say it differently but I don’t know any other words than those… 🙂
Your words are perfect the way they are. Don’t change ’em for my self-important lexical presumptions.
🙂
Ahh yes–and yes I do want to!! love, Caddo
Aw, how sweet. standing with someone feels much less like lonely, doesn’t it?
Oddly enough, I seldom feel lonely–God’s gift of creative imagination keeps my head pretty crowded with folks–good thing I’m not expected to cook for them! But yes, in the real world, it’s nice to stand next to someone.
Beautiful Melody! Count me in too! 🙂
Aw, thanks, Debbie! 🙂
an unexpected twist, teasing yet witty. love it.
Thank you, YunYi! 🙂
I have your back 🙂
🙂 Nice!
Lovely, Melody. Even the most independent people around need to touch shoulders with others once in awhile.
So true! We do need independence – but also need to know when and who to lean on. A tricky balance!
Love this! Whimsical, yet profound?!
Thank you! 🙂 I was attempting to play around a bit with conventions – glad you caught the shades and subtleties!
We all share the same eternal breath, we share the same spirit, we share His touch of love and we are united as one in life…you are never alone. Beautiful poem my sister!
That is one truth that has stood me on solid ground many a time….thank you Wendell!
C’est très touchant !
Merci de votre visite.
