Even now in sunlight

naturemusicmemoryidentitysolitude

Even now in sunlight

There is darkness

Hiding in every shadow

Though here, in this place

On a hillside

Overlooking the sea

Sitting by myself

I am not alone

A home can sing

With the vibrations

Of its occupants

Even in absence

There is life

In abundance

Only an arms length away

Even singularity

Is a concept

With a multitude of meanings

Can the future come undone

Is there no respite

From such progress

As I confess

Was never mine to make

Without assistance

Look into the distance

If you must

What might be seen

So very far away

Is all but visible

Closer to one’s own home

Than it seemed so yesterday

When all things

May have looked the same

But everything was

Immeasurably different

As it will be

Once again

Tomorrow.
