Aloneness
I
“Aloneness” has been granted me. Whether on Bishop Street at noon, Or Kala kaua;On Waikiki at sunset,On the sands at Kailua,Before dawn,I am alone.I walk alone in crowdsAnd feel the solitary selfIn the moonlight on the beach.
II
“Aloneness” has been granted me.To walk with men,To fly the skies,And sail the seas,Where ever heart is raised to Him –I walk alone.At heat of day,Or cool of eve,On shore or city street,The yearning soul receives my aloneness.
III
The sick are healed.The restless are forgiven.
Alone, yet in the heartsOf those who long for peace. The restless feel my aloneness; The hungry eat it;The thirsty drink it.It washes the impure mindsOf those who do not know, Touching the mind with Light.
IV
“Aloneness” has been granted to me. Alone I sit behind the prison wall;I pace the sick room floor.Where ever danger threatens,My aloneness breaks the spell. Where misery loves company,My aloneness they may share.
V
Alone, I wake, and walk and sleep – Alone I travel sea and skyAnd sometimes till the land.Alone I walk and talk with menOr stroll the shady lane.Aloneness has been granted me Where ever you may be.
Joel S. Goldsmith
