Alone, but not lonely

I'm alone here,

And I can feel it -

In the silence that fills the table

In the void of few words 

Separated, closed off

Away from everyone else.

Around me,

Tables talk.

I hear Uno and chess

Checkers and card games

Little exclaimations

Little connections

Like fireworks around the room -

And I sit alone,

Alone,

But not lonely.

Not jealous of these people

Sitting here

With my work

Being peaceful

Is more appealing, to me

Than anything else they're doing.
