Owl eyes break as dimming light worms about,
Hollow clap surrenders a sparked ribboning,
Escapees breakout from their misty cells,
Wakes of earthen prints puddling,
Harbored ills bade sanctuary,
A glassy millpond beholds the begotten,
Abrupt warming tempts the absence,
Stirred tea sweetly idling,
An archer colorfully tools the realm,
Directives wondering,
Vibrant life answering,
A stranger to loneliness,
...I felt like being alive.
A shout into the void, or a whispered wish,
amplifies the loneliness you feel within.
And like the sheer beauty of a lionfish,
lust lures the naive and the curious in.
Love's an emotional roller coaster ride,
that leaves you feeling drained from the tears you've cried.
And in its free-fall moments, you want to scream:
for it feels more like a nightmare than a dream.
Where land meets sea
Waves wash tears.
Memories erode
Brine swirls forgotten.
The longing remains
And our grief unloads.
Where Moon drives tide
Ebb hides need.
Flow spills thirst
Our wretched hearts cried.
Where night joins surf
We stand alone.
The break of drift
We straddle this shore.
And light-years ‘tween stars
Shrink our stature.
Disquiet alarm
Sleepless unhappiness
Bored disaffection
Fearful agitation
Despondent hostility
Hysterical loneliness
The irony of true loneliness
is that it makes you realize
the difficulty in getting along with
being alone…with you and yourself
unaware that we’re never really alone…
The mind’s ears can always hear
the words flowing from its mouth;
no need to tease the insanity of others
with utterances to the tolling wind…
God hears and speaks through all loneliness…
filling the empty cup of mind with overflowing
grace…transforming loneliness into spiritual
contemplation of peace…love…and unity….
