Loneliness is as harsh as a dry, cold wind
Creeping inside your every cell so thinned
Zapping the energy right out of you
Shadows of yesterday’s longings sung blue
Ping pong through your many memories
Searching the once upon a time faces and alleys
All the people you knew and loved
left you alone, your heart ungloved
You are left behind, wondering why
Do they think of you as the night flies by
And what is it that you still must do
The answer seems to evade you
The Silence Of Loneliness (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
You search deep within
Life seems to be on a backspin
Desperately you hold on
Piercing blood deep pawn
You cry and struggle still
You can’t give up, you never will
To be all you can become…
To keep at it until you’re done
To wait without hurrying
To love without clutching
To give without wanting
To be open without blocking
To love without expecting
To find without begging
To accept yourself within a song
To be…to become…to belong

Yes, the journey of loneliness certainly begins that way…recently, I heard an interesting conversation on NPR concerning the universe and is blackholes. This particular scientist said that it has now been discovered that there are white holes within the blackholes! Amazing! Perhaps entire universes lie within those! Perhaps we have to journey through the darkness to get to the light?
Thank you for visiting my blog!

Loneliness is why friendship was invented — or which came first

Very true…but I think there is an inner solitude that must be attained…that no one can do for oneself…I think I have to be at home with me…no one can do it for me…and that is NOT to say that I do not value my friends…like you…I do value friendship…but there is something one must do for oneself

How true…seems to be where I am at..trying to find out who I am after all these years of caring for someone else and now alone, I have to find out what I want, not what someone else wants. To live with my aloneness.
