The Hill

I sat atop a silent hill

and gazed upon the sky

A lucent moon gazed back at me

and I began to cry.

For even though one such as I

Walks alone through unspoken assent

I grew too familiar with solitude

and familiarity breeds contempt.

Every fortress needs

supplies

Every whale comes up for

air

So too do I desire friends

when loneliness’ cross

becomes too heavy to bear.

And so I rise

And prepare tomorrow’s guise

Night falls and my head follows suit

And so I sleep

I dream

                I wake

                                Then for my own good

The Hill

I forsake.
