When.......Lonely is closer than a brother.....

The healing hands of time Can't mend it.... when it's in the blood The morning sun can't kiss away the rain When there's been a flood Destiny has dealt me..... Another losing hand... 'Looks like this homeless heart Is on it's own again I can crawl down in the bottle But, the tears always wash me out I can step out of the shadows 'Still I can't shake these endless doubts 'Walking through the tunnel Reaching for the light Wondering every morning Will I make another night Searching for a shelter A little cover from the pain When you're running...helter skelter Life is so against the grain If I could only find... Sweet yesterday....when I held her I'm so out of place..... Searching For A Shelter Protected by copyright Colab. with Harlan Howard

Your thoughts express this emotion so well. Even though, you are right- I wish it wasn't so. It takes time for a lonely heart, to find the shelter it needs. ~ Brandy

Hi Chuck.. Tonight, the mountain sky is clear. In a few hours the stars will tease me with their winks. The twilight is for your poem, and it's as enjoyable as the coming sunset!

A sad poem that clearly gives homelessness meaning and desperation.
