Solemnity

By: Barbara Matijevic

In the evenings, 
  Following sundown
     I observed you
        However,
            I never saw you

Your twinkle of light
  Alone –
     In the dead of night
    Impunity
     In absence from society

  I have noticed your insolence
     Yet
  I have never acknowledged it

Is anyone there?
  How does your story unfold?
     What are your thoughts?
        Describe to me your dreams.

  Did you attain them?
     Do you wish to attain them –

  Are you content?

I hope you are.
  I hope one day i will be too —
