Only One

Thank God that I am only one
Among so many!
Otherwise,
How would I find peace?
And thank heavens I am yet apart, aloof, alone,
Here within my cabin,
Deep within my candlestick,
The push behind my pen,
Here burning dim
Behind the panes of glass
That separate me
From the cool and shaded 
Frosty wood
That lies in the hidden place 
That you can't see.
Oh, thank God!
Otherwise,
Well, I don't want to think!
I don't want to see
What I would be
If I were something more
​Than me.
