She Walks Alone

a poem

where have you been? my friends asked me

to Macchu Pichu to walk in the jungle to make a despacho an offering to the earth

and with who? myself

you walk alone they said and smiled they understood

it is true I stand alone and walk alone

it’s a pathless path and a ruthless one to be walked alone with myself

when I surrender to being alone I realize I am not

I get to be like a mountain and rain like a cloud

the more I see the deeper it expands surrendering to myself

I’m always alone and never alone I walk alone

Thank you for reading!
