I’m sure it is paradise, but I am alone

Natural beauty, untouched

A day is far too long

Without another human soul to share it with

Wild animals roam free

Nothing to hurt me

But sinking loneliness

Just one hammock in the tree

Hummingbirds sing, sweet songs to each other

My laughter goes unheard

What life is this, if not to know another?

I would rather have been spared
