David Taylor - Alone and Special

I have always known
I am special and alone.
From earliest childhood memories
I remember.
I saw the world full of promise
as a vastness of light and purity
full of creatures and children and adults
out there and here at home.
A kaleidoscope of changing colours
movements with divine choreography.
Deeply hurt when man’s hard shell
impinged upon the beauty
I knew so well.
In a vast playground
wanting just to play
trying to stay out of the bullies’ way.
Feeling lonely most everyday
until I realised that in disguise
it was always you right by my side.
And then I saw that I always knew
you are so special and I am too.
We are alone, I and the I in you.

David Taylor
