Lonely-Solitude

In the dark lonely night I stare,
Heart beating in a slow steady pace,
Reaching out,Reaching out to What,
Oh right reaching out to the dancing dust in moonlit,

How long will it take,
Beautiful light,
Embrace this night,
How long will it take,
To embrace this dreamer's night,

Hold my hand,
Eye to eye,
Leap with me,
Light my dream,

Save this dreamer's night,

Solitaire air I breathe,waiting,
Waiting for the train to Autumn pace,
I've longed for you Autumn,
Autumn,my best friend,

I'll be waiting for you,

Silent sounds occupy my mind,
Telling a silent story in whispers,
A story to share,
But with whom,

I stare into the night sky,
Eyes welcomed by the moon and seven stars,
And I ask,would you want to hear a story,
A dreamer's story,

I have so much to tell,
Perhaps I write a letter,
A letter to seven,

Take my words,
Heart to heart,
Run with me,
In this night,

Let's take the train together,
To Autumn pace,
This dream is mine,
Light the way, 
Beautiful light, 

Dance with me in this moonlit,
Hand in hand,
This night is ours,

Let me tell you a story, 
A dreamer's story,
Then sing me a lullaby,
A dreamer's lullaby,

In this dark lonely night I sleep,
Mind wandering in a dream,
The moon and seven stars at reach, 

To wish my dream a sweet night,
In my lonely-solitude.

Nancy Kaufman Date: 7/6/2023 12:46:00 PM I liked the line "dancing dust" You captured that loneliness well but it appeared as if you did fine solace in nature. Am I right? Enjoyed Login to Reply Ramatu Suleiman Date: 7/14/2023 12:09:00 PM Yes and no,"the moon and seven stars" are nature but they are all a representation,but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
