We all need alone time To read books that matter to us Alone time, in order to make things that don't matter Solitude at a certain time of day when we need to say "Hello, me. Talk to me. What has been going through my mind these days? Tell me all about it, and let's work it out." It's never easy It's always tough Sometime in a future, that may not exist, I may learn to live through the plough To steady myself when the Earth's core rocks To become One with Energy To have the insight of a young Dalai Lama I am never 12 anymore I am only older I get bigger than those I want to converse with So I crouch myself down to their level To see the world through their eyes It's a wonderful world down here
