Picture and poem: ‘Alone’

Alone, eternity echoes...

I scream.

Alone, an awesome solitude laughs...

I cry.

Alone, yesterday's a burden,

I fall.

Alone, I think of you...

I move.

You, who means love to me,

I kneel.

Love, that means hope to me,

I rise.

Hope, which means understanding,

I stand.

Understanding which is a reflection

of all your love,

I live, I live!
