Manifestation
Lonely boy whose heart doth dream,
While tired and weary of sailing upstream,
Of a lover to share this course;
And for love to bud early and not in old age remorse.
Lonely girl crying tears of pain,
In shame she seeks refuge outside in the rain;
Isolated from the world she perceives,
Constrained rightly by her fears she believes.
Lonely boy whose heart doth woe,
Of whose life has seen much sorrow;
Though joy he has known here and again,
Depression, it seems, has stayed his constant friend.
Lonely girl confusing true love
Friends or lovers –
She knows none of the above
Desiring to know them both well,
She must first defy her usual shell.
Lonely boy whose heart doth now see
Now works through his pain to be set free
In taking new and uncertain steps forward
Only faith can assure him of his future reward.
Lonely girl now loves herself
She has come to terms with her personal wealth;
Once anxious to receive any type of acceptance
She now knows what self love is.
Lonely boy meets lonely girl perchance one day;
Upon this encounter she suspends his dismay;
And for her, he personifies the end of her fears;
For this, they had prayed ceaselessly over the years.
Lonely boy and lonely girl are alone no more;
They’ve become one and decided to explore
A world of new possibilities to mutually share;
Indeed, they’re getting there together.
