Beloved Friend

Beloved friend---Loneliness,
of all, the most faithful, in me, remained,
willingly made your home within my soul,
and became the most vital part of my life!

I always feel at ease with you---
you're graceful and never intrude,
you do not wound my heart,
you neither lie nor betray me!

We understand each other in silence---
we hold our dialogues through the night,
we speak with bare honesty, without masks,
and we do not bargain away our trust!

Beloved friend---Solitude,
I cannot live without you anymore,
as you mend what breaks in me,
without you, I would not have endured!
