Unfamiliar Still How Friends Are Made

Having wandered all the wrong places
Where love and life don't feel at ease,
He was muzzled by his own solitude
Finding comfort in lonesome universe.

It took a while, but soon he realized
When pointing to a star in distant sky
Beauty of the cosmic hues multiplies
Huddled together with lover's eyes.

Verbalizing feelings he then surmised 
Seeing a lone bird on a gracious ride,
So much more fun it would be to see
A flock of birds in synchronous glide.

He still doesn't know how to recognize
Signs that foretell a budding sunrise
Mired instead in darkness of night
Content to not see beyond the fog.

Tugged by prodding of visions ahead
Unfamiliar still how friends are made
Harboring heartbreak as love awakes,
Foolishly he enables fervor to escape.

"Verbalizing feelings he then surmised Seeing a lone bird on a gracious ride, So much more fun it would be to see A flock of birds in synchronous glide". Let me quote the worn out expression... 'man is not an island' ! He is gregarious and enjoys more in company than being a loner ! The innate craving for companionship is poetically and powerfully expressed here . Love this beautiful poem as your other poems, Vijay!

Very moving description of one who, it seems, will wait till it's too late to reach out to others, Vijay! Janice

Once again your pen finds release in free verse, Vijay. Some people wrap themselves in solitude, even though they long to be free! Regards // paul

An eloquent write Vijay - Ah, that fog of indecision and trepidation that holds one in their own prison. Soon he will recognize the signs in the cosmic hues and flocks of birds joyously sailing on the airwaves - He will then be free...Maria Hugs:)

Loneliness is a sorrowful trap and one which is so difficult to escape. You have beautifully portrayed this feeling, Vijay. I hope he can break the fog soon, Well done !!
