In a sprinkling of autumn's mournful tears She walks alone - no matter how tough and difficult it is Smiles at those she meets maybe she receives a smile back Nothing in life comes with guarantees anything else would be a lie Raised head and straight back even if the mask is ruptured Strength and courage; can it heal all wounds? The luggage she carries leading her on paths which are not always passable - without a companion

One can walk alone, even in a crowd, when one’s world has turned upside down. A marvellous read Anne-Lise, and so true… Beryl

Beautiful take on the painting. I've written many on loneliness. Yours is worthy

I concur Anne-Lise. We don't have a magic ball to see our future and the valleys that we climb and the dark parts of our lives. Being alone and having heartache can be so overwhelming in life. I felt these feelings while reading this wonderful sad write of yours. Thank you for sharing. Blessings your way...

Nothing in life comes with guarantees. How true that is, dear Anne Lise.
