Solitary Thoughts

as I sip cautiously 

from this cup called life

I am aware of eyes upon me

sensing another's interest

I look up from my contemplations

to see nothing

no one there

must have been my imagination

it seems to play tricks on me

now and again

unknown and unnoticed

I wander my path alone

no one here but me

I sense others

but never manage to see them

sometimes I think they hear me

but then reality sets in

and I am once again

alone with my thoughts

safe in anonymity

I sip cautiously
