My loneliness brings me to the doorstep of aloneness
Where there is no craving for company
Nor desire for any sound
Other than the rustle of leaves welcoming the evening zephyr
Or the sound of dew drops falling gently on unsuspecting leaves of grass
Or the gentle surrender of each day to the call of the dusky damsel
Or the tranquil awakening of each night to the music of dawn

This oneness with nature is alluring
Where you begin to see with your heart
And feel with your mind
Where the abundance within you
Gets enriched with the sweet nectar of life
Creating those precious moments of aloneness and rare quietude
Where you feel yourself entering a zone of bliss
Devoid of any stress or cacophony
Laced with the splendour of sublime existence
