Grass Is Greener

Maybe I am looking at things just a little wrong Being alone through life isn't really what makes you strong If life leads you in deeper and deeper It's just taking you to where life is a little greener A little richer, a little fuller, cream puff alley To where lifes cares and worries are just a little fickle falley Maybe I am wrong, makes me feel as if I am strong Question still is how long I am willing to prolong The who and where of just what exactly went so terribly wrong Thats been just so so long Now with so many days gone I guess there is no reason to dittle dalley The grass is always greener

As they say , no man is an island. We need to feed from eachother, emotionally, intellectually, joyfully, physically. Jump in with both feet, Courtney. Nice verse. Viv x

I agree with Paul's comments. I think we all need periods of solitude even if it is simply for an hour at a time when we can have time for 'me' but we do need other people around us to help us in our complex lives and stop the intense lonliness :-) hugs Jan xx

Being alone in life can make a person strong, but no man/woman is an island....happiness is also derived from sharing with others. Grass can be greener further afield. All the best. // paul

Hey Courtney, stopped by for a visit. This is a poem of subtle sadness and longing, but I sense an inner strength. Just take care with that "greener grass". Pull on it first and see how deep it goes - crab grass can be green too! A well written piece here! Be Blessed, Neva
