Loneliness

I lived my life through thick and thin, Once my cheerful home, has now become an empty nest, The fate changes a happy life into a lonesome one, Now I am singing lonely blues. Loneliness is like a star lost in a galaxy, Other stars are so close, but they look far away, The whispers of fate, like a silent magnetic storm, It sweeps away my bonding wishes, hoping to catch a falling star. I should learn how to live a single life, The social events may revolve around pairs, Still, I will watch the happiness on others' faces, And enjoy the joy that my heart desires. I investigate the heart's desire within me, Overcoming pessimism and loneliness in me, Sowing the seeds of confidence that are overshadowed in my brain, It is In my hands, that confidence will arise with gentle toil.

Hello Jay, Oh, it is so well expressed from the soul and has so many great lines to read. My wife and I have been married for 42 years, and I worry that she will no longer be there one day. Thanks for your heart on this one. Autumn Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

"Loneliness is like a star lost in a galaxy, Other stars are so close, but they look far away," These lines have brought a lump to my throat. Husbands and wives may quarrel. But the companionship they offer is worth facing all challenges of married life. When one loses the other, life becomes lonely. I am sure you can mitigate this emptiness through your poetry and art.

Being alone can be quite lonely or it can give us the opportunity to learn to appreciate our interactions with others when they so arise. There are many centers for seniors, to join together and have coffee and chat. Hope you consider them, I don't play cards, but I drop in and have coffee with the group at the church, it helps . :)

Your "Loneliness" is a wonderful yet sad write. Many years ago when my uncle died. At the service, my aunt wanted to get into his coffin. She could not live without him. Many years later is moved into a senior apt. Then a very nice man liked her. A few more years/they wanted to marry. All were shocked. They did not because she would lose her monthly money. It is very hard. Sending blessing to you... Have a blessed Autumn day writing away...............

you summed it up well at the end, that confidence will require work, but believe me, it WILL bring success.
