Solitary

Interpreted by Karen Newell

“Solitary”
 
How could I 
ever forget 
the beautiful truth they hide…
If every time 
I look at them 
I find my soul
embracing yours…?
 
How could I
ever forget 
if every time 
I stand alone…. 
Naked before their gaze…
Like star dust
They open up 
a distant world 
we all once knew…
A universe of love,
that never 
passed us by…
Of timeless youth,
Of unborn fears?
 
How could I 
ever forget 
the beautiful truth they hide…
My soul embracing yours…
My nakedness before their gaze…
Our distant world…
Our universal love…
Our timeless youth…
Our unborn fears…?
 
How could I…
Ever forget…
Those solitary mirror eyes
of mine?
 
How could I 
ever forget 
the beautiful truth they hide…
