My Lonely Walk Alone

My lonely walk alone
gives me time to
think about the hurt
which is nagging me.

It resurfaces to attack 
now and then until 
I decide to shake it
loose as I saunter off.

My mind takes in 
the scene I pass
looking at children 
playing in the city park.

They are laughing and
having fun in their world
of play in which I wish
I was part of again.
