All Alone In This Tiny World

This lonely life doth take it's toll, Lonely are the nights, Surrounded by nothing, I alone can't fight. The lonely soul become more lonely Alone on the way of life. Lonely is heard in echoed Footsteps of a departing friend. Lonely penetrate the solitude Of nights that will not end. Looking at all the lights Alone in such a big world, Seeing all the drugs and booze, All alone in this tiny world.

Everyone gets a little bit lonely everynow and then.. in this big huge world eater.. but then i see a flower.. a butterfly.. a dewdrop.. i hear my neighbour saying hello.. All these simple things makes me realize how beautiful it is to breath.. to feel the sun on my skin.. and watch the clouds almost like candyfloss.. and i say.. life is beautiful!:)

This piece was pretty good. Some of my loneliest nights were spent in the company of friends. "Lonely is the echo heard in the footsteps of a departing friend". Very poignant. I hate to use the comments post as a launching pad for my own poems but I have one titled, "Blue Nights", that relates if you would like to read. Thanks again for sharing your words and thoughts. They make me think as well. Rockman
