Solitary

A soul stands so alone sodden, trodden, left so reft darkening shadows amidst dim streetlights, now angst what was before, is now never http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-14.php

Great job of conveying emotion in this poem and image too - I picture a man in dark clothing (in a trenchcoat), standing underneath a dim streetlight, consumed with lonliness, yet emptiness and pain at the same time.

Sure can't help but feel sad as I read this-- how I hope that this isn't inspired by real life... but very eloquently written, James--
