Alone

ALONE By Kevin L Fairbrother All alone, just me and the surrounding landscape My mind fills with an avalanche of the past, the present and the future Such a jumble of thoughts in my head, hard to separate the good and the bad Nor find the means to lesson this feeling of loneliness Like a computer that searches and crunches numbers My brain is working over-time and heading for an over-load At the speed of light it looks for and separates the positives and negatives For there is so much is stored and there is heaps and heaps to untangle Perhaps a walk in the crisp cool wind swept day Will clear my head and untangle the thick jungle Then again it will surely add to what is already in my head As I walk taking in the sounds and scenery around me Put pen to paper, get on your keyboard that could be the way To let your brain and your fingers do the talking Surely that should decrease the flow of information But alas, I have to think, there-for, I make worse the situation There is one way and one way only to ease the dilemma To slow down the process and to get rid of lonely thoughts Have a stiff drink, play soft music and lay on the bed Snuggle down, close your eyes and sleep with your loneliness
