A Rare Vigil

This was written on a sleepless night, when I was surprised to find the dorm lobby empty, a rare occurrence indeed.

A rare vigil tonight.
The lobby is empty,
And I am calm
In the silence.

The early hour
Does not deny
Sound or motion,
But tonight,
Only the building
Breathes
And my pen
Scrawls.

There is nothing
More splendid
Than detachment
In a place where

Solitude

Is not possible.
