Lonely Soul

Bed;
Not just a place to rest
Not just a place to 
sleep
Your bed;
Your place to disappear
Your haven safe, your secrets 
keep
You dry your weary eyes
Between the troubled sheets you
weep
You muffle angry screams
Beneath tormented pillows
deep
Your heavy curtains closed
You hide alone 
from brutal light
In and out of consciousness
You drift and doze 
through day and night

Sara Lokken Date: 4/15/2009 7:19:00 AM This is very tortured, but I know this feeling, Isabel. This has the feeling of depression..and I know the 'angry screams, the brutal light, in and out of consciousness'....Love, Sara

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 4/14/2009 3:56:00 PM How well you describe the safe haven sought by a "Lonely Soul," Isabel. I think we have all retreated to our beds, where our angry screams are muffled "Beneath tormented pillows deep." Depression touches nearly every life; sometimes it is difficult to emerge from the "bed" and continue living in pain. Very nice work! Love, Carolyn
