Facing Loneliness

FACING LONELINESS I was told by wisdom that to know loneliness is to know oneself. She said to be alone is essence. In that, you do not misuse this time with heartache but seek a greater way. I have experience this kind of direst. Through the lack of unity, I became distressed. Being alone became a form of harmony with the world. My knowledge grew via my worldview becoming skewed. I was given knowledge via the face of loneliness. He told me to hold my head-up because anyone can make a mistake. It is not to be unaccompanied from the world’s marketplace. However, this is a time to gain insight unaided. I was told by my own knowledge that sometimes anyone needs space. Through this knowledge, I am alone but I am not lonely today. |____________________________________________________| Penned On November 16, 2014!
