I would rather be
where the air is thin
and the invisible wind
bangs the hinges of a rusty door
deep in the mountains
where the crowds don’t go.
How much traffic have we seen
or arguments heard?
We don’t want to see
We don’t want to listen
Reading old thoughts
will suffice
Surrounded by things
nobody else values.
It’s comforting to know
their envious eyes
won’t be watching.
Listening to the right whisper
is the key to meaning
natural sounds will take you there
like the ocean inside of a shell
or the music inside your head
distance from the world makes everything beautiful
a train’s warning
or a society at work
In your far away room
You are not too busy to think
or too busy to care
You are not anonymous
because…
You know You.

Your poem illustrates the value of being by ourselves away from others . . . where we can think.

I agree. Sometimes we just need to be alone in a room to think.
