Alone?

I look around, and I see no one else.

It's always just me, surrounded by myself.

 

Some would call this hell: living in such seclusion.

But I am surrounded by simplicity; not by confusion.

 

I'm not really alone. Presence of grace lies in every nook.

The love of my God is visible in every place that I look.

 

I may be all by myself. "Trapped in this place"

But with my faith around my neck, I feel safe.

 

It reminds me of who I am. Reminds me my suffering's done.

Reminds me of the kid I used to be. And the man yet to come.

 

The homes I was raised in shine in every detail.

And I know He is with me. With Him, I won't fail.

 

So am I really alone when no one else is around?

Because I can hear His voice when there are no other sounds.
