I have always been alone
even in a crowd
I dwell in the quiet
beyond the noise
Introverted
my thoughts are friends
even when they change
they don’t spend malice
the trees and birds
deliver comfort on a breeze
the earth ever stalwart
is reliable and steadfast
nature obeys the rules
of time and season
weathering storms and drought
without complaint
I can be still
in the quiet
feel my heart beat
the ache in my back
and listen for the sound
of the geese overhead
Not bothered by complaints
of crowding
