A Lone Man's Wail

Nature, thou art so great. The sun still shines so bright. All alone I walk with the wind. Trees line up on my way in robes of green. From branches, birds trill joyous songs. Breeze giggles among leaves. I love you dear, Nature. The light, will soon fade out. Upon reaching back home, the day would have bade its goodbye. Alone I have to brood in deep silence. It's depressing to be alone. Most houses are lighted. Sadly look on, the light I crave- Crave for a time, when a caring hand would, hold me snug in love, on homebound, cuddling me tight to warm my lonely bed. The night is so dreadfully chill. Birds are huddled in nests. For company, I crave. July. 25. 2022 Submitted for Brian Strand Choice Poetry Contest

Hi Valsa, this is such an excellent poetic write. There is such emotion within the craving for another's heart. You sing of nature so well and then you speak of loneliness the same. This is just a beautiful write. Have a wonderful evening. Has to be a fave. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX

I'd invite 'Nature' in to keep you company. But I think you'd rather sleep through the night! ~ Denizen of the Forest

Your beautiful writing, Valsa, is enjoyable to read not just because of its style but also because of its content. I hear the struggles of being alone through the whole thing. Wonderful visuals of the natural world help ease the discomfort of this trek alone.
