    Loneliness

    6-28-06

    This is the sound of loneliness…

    On first thought you’d go to silence. But silence isn’t loneliness and being alone isn’t lonely. The sound of loneliness is being at the airport with no one to meet you and watching and hearing the people around greeting their families joyfully. Feeling their happiness. Even if it makes me smile, a piece of my heart is sad. Watching a couple walk holding hands, knowing you have only your own hand to hold now…and not to tightly because its showing signs of arthritis. I put myself around people who are experiencing joy in their life so I remember to not be lonely.

    It is a feeling, moreso than a physical predicament. Or maybe the absence of a thing oh so desired. Lovely write. Write on.........Tlady

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
