Loneliness sits silently
Too often tinged with sadness
Wafting through one’s heart
Waiting for no-one in particular
Filling one’s soul with curiosity
Wondering why
It never quite goes away
A movie or a book
Beautiful music
Amongst a throbbing crowd
Or all alone
There is no difference
When loneliness and sadness
Sneaks in
Nothing takes it away
Not quite ever
The memory of old grief
Maybe a suicide or divorce
Always a death of some kind
Intertwined with new losses
And an alone-ness
Too hard to describe
With spoken words
But through poetry
Highlighting
Those wretched feelings
Of loneliness and sadness
Deep inside one’s heart

Excellent poem Kate….I just hope you are not feeling too much loneliness in your life. I rather think of you filled with courage and gusto taking on the PWD world and feeling energized by it. We are all out here rooting for you 🙂 Let’s all make 2014 the best year ever, so kick loneliness to the curb and know we’re always here for each other 🙂 Much love…VK xxoo
