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

I hope the leaking out of this one onto the page reaches others who may need to know they are not alone in these feelings. Your skill in writing came to the fore in this piece, Best regards David in NZ

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!
