that was said

And this I well recall--
It was the saddest sound I've heard,
And the loneliest of all.

The stars is the loneliest of places.
So far apart, are all the familiar faces.
Surely we all see the Light,
But it is in dark space we forever reside....

Solemn in it's plight 
The loneliest rose among 
Trees and grass there it
Finds it's own haunting solitude 
Rose only knows flower life 

Quiet is her survival...

Once, a lonely number three
sat forlornly on my knee.
In his eyes, I saw despair
as he was sitting there.
"You needn't sniffle, cry or pout.
I too have been the odd man out."...

The dawn of
forgiveness
The death of
old pain
The choice that
releases
The end of
disdain

Unwrapping
tomorrow
Regifted
today
The loneliest 
moments
Beyond
—yesterday

Shaving your
Scales mermaid, 
And against
your will. 

Beautiful sea 
Creature, a siren
Entrancing the
Loneliest of 
Seamen. 

I bless the 
Sea Captain, 
The Admiral
Inside you. 

To your rescue....

A Wanderer’s Path
………………………………………………
The route seems forever path in darkness
No returning and no receiving end
Beyond eternal dreams, blind and sightless
A wanderer’s path to belong the loneliest of a man

I made your voice when I dreamed
of a resounding conviction
I told your name only
when voices seemed to fit
I wrote it only in syllables
Even when none stood  their test
I cried in tears when these syllables could 
only stream...

You're a song that my heart keeps singing
Mostly after midnight when only the loneliest of birds still call
I'm answered in the whisper of night air
and a choir of crickets
While I sit murmuring softly to myself on the front steps...

Loneliness

Loneliness can materialize when you are not alone.

When relationships are strained,

The connection can be lost.

Some of the loneliest moments,

Occur when lying next to someone you love.

Tressa
Loving, kind, quirky, weird
Sister of Joe and Kit
Lover of many, but one in particular
Who feels anger, sadness, and happiness.
Who fears clowns, rejection, and dying alone
Who would like to see Paris, Rome, and Japan
Resident of Caldwell, Idaho

this tear 
starts here
deep within my heart
the loneliest part
keeping clear
the pathway for my tear

makes its way
to my face
no other way to go
but through the lump in my throat
at a steady pace
as this tear finds its way

into the chilled air
free and clear
then down along
a path well worn
this tear 
ends here...

The pearl lay
In the half shell
The oyster paid and was spent

The bird fell
From the sky
Shackled to a fishing tackle ascent

The beach stretched
To the loneliest point
Where infinity was met

The man sank
In an ocean of regret
Forgetting what his life meant

And I stayed
Wondering where
My rhythm went

on a clear
loneliest night
the heavens do shine
their twinkling light
I am lying in my sleeping bagYARD
using just these eyes
to view the Beauty there
it isn't very yard
My Wandering eye
a sad one to Cry
Because my Parents have left me
without even saying goodbye
And so I look up upon the nearest Star
There is my Home
A paradise so afar...

Sometimes in the quietest, loneliest parts of the night
When it seems like I miss you most
I somehow get the sense of you near me
Never fully materializing, but there…
The flash of your smile-The whisper of your voice
The taste of you lips-The heat of you body
The beat of your heart
There in the darkness-Just beyond reach
Part of myself I can’t quite touch....

When you think of the word depression,
what's the first thought that comes to mind?

Is it someone stuck in bed,
wiping their tears,
wishing they were dead?

Is it someone smiling 
and cracking jokes?

For the seemingly happiest person,
can also be the loneliest.

Because depression doesn't have a look
and can affect anyone of any age,
of any gender....

I am Lyria.
Short and small
But much stronger than them all.
For though my bodies weak and petite
My mind is steal
And rather neat.
I can create Palaces 
Out of nothing
But bricks of blood and stone
My eyes aren’t sharp 
But clever I am
I see through brain and bone.
And yet
I never forget
For all my quirky creative ways
I’ve loneliest
Loneliest of days....

July saw you drinking mimosas
underneath a tree that wept shadows.
You were never one for cloudless days
by the sea. Silver wax over golden dust.
You are beginning to realize
blue might be the loneliest colour
when caught without the sun. 

Yet only the ocean can speak of love in any tense. 
Look at how it creates and destroys
at the same time. 
Look at how 
it carries on....

rabbits leap across
loneliest graveled dirt roads
barely missing tires
~
possum shuffle past
the white lines along the curbs
hopes fill their belly
~
raccoon dart out from
beneath laurels and pine trees
hustling toward hills
~
bear lumber along
awaiting hibernation
along forest trails
~
deer travel quiet
sighing soft in the headlights
through misty night fog...

With the sun in the forceps 
Of an ageless night, 
The bells at the lighthouse toll 
Until they are merely sterile 
Breaths.  
Occasionally, a ghostly whisper 
Validates and dissects 
Each tear, each truth. 
I can't imagine their loneliness- 
watching light burn 
Until it is as small as a flea, 
While we endure engulfed 
In light, 
Principals of refuge 
And shadow....
