    Solitude

    The night owl , on its naked branch
    Alone, alone, in the wooded grove
    Burdened by solitude, forced to bear that lonesome yoke
    The moon waxes and it wanes unseen, untouched, by the owls perch
    Time? Who needs time in solitude?
    Time ceases as joy ceases, time ceases as apathy begins
    Time is measured not in a collection of random moments
    But rather,
    Time is measured in togetherness, experiences shared with other souls
    Yet the owl, perched on its naked branch
    Alone in that wooded grove
    Knows not of his perpetual strife
    Fore he has been and shall remain fettered
    To the lonely stone walls of  solitude

    But I? No , I, have the will to break the chains which feathered wings cannot
    There is hope for me within these prison walls.
    But the day will come when The Bastille will stand a pile of rubble,
    A forsaken heirloom of lonely tyranny.
    So it is written.
