ALONE

When you’re lonely and scared...

Every lighted window in the darkness is like a beacon from a ship in a sea of despair,

Every barking dog a wolf tearing at the fragile cardboard door of sanity,

Every happy couple enemies of your state of mind,

Every morning a new beginning,

Every night a long, dark journey,

Every person a potential friend or lover,

Every flower is still lovely,

Every night star still shines,

The sun still rises,

The moon looks down,

Life goes on!

I think that at times it is better to face the dark and be in the light together with someone.

Metaphors combined into a powerful masterpiece. You have left me speechless. The more I read it, the more I soak in it. Great job!

Thank you so much...high praise from one such as yourself.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
