Notes About The Poem

A Lonely Night

Bleak Sky, Dark gray, Charcoal drab, Like an old man's night, New widower beside the grave. Desolate, forlorn, now individual, unattached, Free, at liberty, unconnected, disconnected to life but still alive, pained

I've never read this F... named poem before but this was very moving. As we get older and older it becomes more and more important not to get stuck in the past, even when the future seems so short
