Loneliness

Loneliness...! Loneliness - the one that visits you in the womb, keeps you accompanied, well past your tomb! Brace yourself to that friend - once and forever, shying away from it, you should attempt - never! Meet her with elan and meet her with grace, meet her with silence 'n' calm with a smiling face! Remember, all those who came along were alone, and those who come across, for sure are - alone! We fail to take note and ignore that lifelong mate, attempting to gain knowledge and chart our fate! In this competitive world, we rush in to compete; survival of the fittest and chaotic madness replete. Surrendered single status to club oneself with one; find oneself asunder with desire one's own none! Running amok from pillar to post - none to pay heed, groping in lonesome dark, only ruminating all deed! Change of status, from spouse to parent and beyond; yet, deep inside in loneliness - that incessantly hound! Spot-on with her, the one 'n' only all weather friend, with all time to spare and broad shoulder to depend! Search for ancient wisdom in books or a wise Seer, to steer through the course, though himself a wayfarer! Discrimination, judgement and decisiveness imparted, set to roll within - find anxieties and sadness departed! Home-in further within deeply and look nowhere else, in solitary contemplation - a state of thoughtful trance! Seeking higher knowledge on that 'One Absolute Truth', finding which, none comparable, will ever internally soothe! Awaken and realise in that deep abyss of lonesomeness; envelopes in entirety, with a sense of wholesomeness!

Our muse can be a lifelong mate if we treat it with kindness and respect. Good one Ram.

Namaste and thank you! Good to hear kind and encouraging words... I'm absolutely a novice in writing. I just try to put in words - all that comes to my mind! Please feel free to highlight the technical flaws too. Thank you once again!!
