@originalpoetry Alone with Friends
Surrounded on all sides.
Never without company.
Am I not still alone?

Home is not in sight,
but many leagues away.
Friends to the left and right.

Alas my mind is not present.
Yearning the company of home,
not a friend in sight can help.

Distance measured in leagues.
Is being in company alone?
My mind is yet to see that company keeps.

Finally I tell my love of my return.
Home is where I return.
Soon, my love, we shan’t be alone.
