I solace shun is what you make it

by Dan Wilterding

Though not often lonely
when I'm alone
the company of others I seek;
to share, for a while,
the lows and the highs
and the views that make us unique.

The crowd is alright
'til too crowded, or loud,
then loneliness sets in again.
I've got to retreat,
get to calm - get to neat,
get in touch with my own inner friend.

Though never so lonely
as when in a crowd
the company of others I seek;
to share for a while
the lows and the highs
and those things that make us unique.
