From Loneliness To Linkages

From Loneliness to Linkages

                                  In the midst of a lonely night
                               With not a voice to greet the ear,
                                And not a human sign in sight,
                                   Seated at a familiar desk
                                With faint fingers on the lap-top
                               And a thoughtful mind not at rest,
                                   In the quietude of a room 
                                 I dare not ever call my own
                              I can hear my breath in the gloom,
                                The tick of the clock on the wall,
                                The rustling of the gentle winds
                               As they caress leaves that do fall
                                 As feathers on the lowly ground,
                               The sharp shrilling sounds of crickets
                                 And the quavering croaks of frogs
                                  From a nearby verdant thicket.

                                 From the loneliness of my room
                                I try to link up with the multitude
                              As I press down the keys of my laptop
                                  To create verses in deep solitude
                                And rhythms with or without rhymes
                                   In a freely structured version
                              Beyond the bounds of space and time
                               To convey my deep-seated emotions 
                                 Gathered in solitude and quietness,
                            Share my cherished thoughts and visions,
                              Impart images ingrained in my mind
                                 In the daily course of my lonely life
                                 To one and all who may wish to find,
                               In a bid to forge linkages with friends
                                    Beyond the range of the oceans
                            And bring down the loneliness to an end
