My Companion

Solitude and I, what a pair we make;
I with my naive aspirations, he with his taciturn air.

He watches me with bewildered amusement as I grasp out for clouds,
Pieces of Heaven that were never meant for me.

He sighs a sigh for my frivolity.
To him, I am a child wanting gratification.

I want no more than anyone else.
Oh, to love...and to be loved.

But I, unlike all other cherubs, cannot find a cloud to light upon.
Solitude, he shakes his head at my futile attempts.

Still, we have become companions, he and I.
His sphere seems the only one I am welcome in.

And so I must be content to bide my time with him, for he will always be there,
Even after the most beautiful clouds have been whisped away.
