There are many forms of solitude, desired or not, well accepted or not, momentary or endless. There are moreover several reasons to feel or to be alone during a lifetime.
Having a moment alone to recharge,
to take stock of our life.
 |
Ending up alone and having
to draw the strenght within ourselves.
 |
Standing alone, strong and proud, in front of the others.
Being the pillar of our own life.
 |
Isolating ourselves
to nourish our most profound secrets, our greatest dreams.
 |
Waiting,
the heart filled with hope of no longer being alone.
 |
By having no one with us,
time may seem very long sometimes too.

Being so lonely and fragile,
fearing that emptiness in us and around will engulf us.
 |
Sometimes feeling forsaken, even when we are
surrounded by sincere and unwavering love.
 |
But being alone does not always mean being lonely.
We can wish for solitude, just for a moment, so we can
freely enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
 |
We are billions of «ones», by choice or not, some having tamed this reality and even having found happiness through it, but although we can sometimes feel lonely, we are never quite alone. The feeling of loneliness is only a state of mind, a perception wich can be (not without difficulty sometimes, I have to admit) changed according to our own will. But being «alone» is one of the things that unite us all. So let's take care to respect the isolation of others, without abandoning them however to their whole solitude.
To take stock of our life
To draw the strenght within ourselves
Being the pillar of our own life
To nourish our most profound secrets, our greatest dreams
The heart filled with hope of no longer being alone
Time may seem very long sometimes too
Fearing that emptiness in us and around will engulf us
Surrounded by sincere and unwavering love
Freely enjoy the simple pleasures of life
Let's be ALONE TOGETHER
