Notes About The Poem
After 20 minutes of writing this today I feel that the negatives have disappeared, the thoughts of being alone have faded into the background as the positives take control. Hope you like and understand.
Alone
ALONE
By
Kevin L Fairbrother
All alone, just me and the surrounding landscape
My mind fills with an avalanche of the past, the present and the future
Such a jumble of thoughts in my head, hard to separate the good and the bad
Nor find the means to lesson this feeling of loneliness
Like a computer that searches and crunches numbers
My brain is working over-time and heading for an over-load
At the speed of light it looks for and separates the positives and negatives
For there is so much is stored and there is heaps and heaps to untangle
Perhaps a walk in the crisp cool wind swept day
Will clear my head and untangle the thick jungle
Then again it will surely add to what is already in my head
As I walk taking in the sounds and scenery around me
Put pen to paper, get on your keyboard that could be the way
To let your brain and your fingers do the talking
Surely that should decrease the flow of information
But alas, I have to think, there-for, I make worse the situation
There is one way and one way only to ease the dilemma
To slow down the process and to get rid of lonely thoughts
Have a stiff drink, play soft music and lay on the bed
Snuggle down, close your eyes and sleep with your loneliness
