Solitaire

The solitary sun shines by day.
The moon's stars are so far away.
Wordsworth wanders lonely as a cloud.
A forgotten seed with life endowed
Must struggle alone beside the trees.
A single flower blows in the breeze.
Mountains stand silent when they are new.
But none as alone as when I am with you.
