aN An Alone Gathering- -
'Loneliness!' I, 'think I am of alone.'
Alone in the spirit, mind and tongue
Alone whole always known
This that I am alone
That splendid homesickness
Wishes for the gatherings
the stage fright brought such sorrow
I wished for not to borrow
In there stepped a nagging helplessness
Much I marveled this lonely deadliness, yet
The lonely, longing, lurching thus I’m not rehearsing
I heard of the lonely, I am one
Loveless soling beyond help
in near stepped a shod purposelessness
that moment my soul grew more lonely
I heard a single, insecure racketing
All my mind and soul in me racketing
I remember I was desolating
My mind always strays to insecurities
Much I marveled the vagrant lonesomeness
Come together with the many have not no one an enemy

Seven days
and seven nights
I searched my cobwebbed soul.
How dark those old forgotten paths
where once I tread my will.
Seven days
and seven nights
How sad I was back then.
Forsaking You and walking proud
soling the weak of man.
Seven days
and seven nights
My sins so countless then.
Yet unashamed I stood and blamed
and cursed at heaven’s gate.
Seven suns
and seven moons
That was my journey, then.
A passage to this wondrous land
where light now shines within.

When the storm hit our town of Old Soling
It brought with it thunder a rolling.
My son said don’t fear,
As the angels are near
Because once again God must be bowling
