Solitude of Silence

The morning mist lifts from the lake as the call of the Lake Loon breaks the silence of the moment and reminds me how lonely I am. Desperately searching for the solitude of silence being destroyed by the beating of my broken heart and the screaming thoughts of words left unsaid.

So sad. I've felt so alone before but always know Jesus is with me. I love your prose. Love and prayers sent your way, Gina
