SOLO? by Sally Currie

SOLO?

©Sally Currie  February 2021

I’m not alone

I’m with myself

And therein lies a difference.

The mysteries

We think about

Are bathed in phosphorescence.

Though silence 

Can be deafening

I do not find it lacking

For here within 

My body and soul

There are two people talking

One says I’m surely 

On a slide

That I am very old

The other says

There’s time ahead

To live and to be bold

When I listen 

To myself

I sometimes feel inspired.

I get beyond

Those aging thoughts

That sometimes keep me mired
