Lonesome

So lay , if you will, in silent repose

With thoughts Oh! so deep

As your eyes deeply close

To meditate for a moment

As though ready for sleep

Thoughts of the past

Which in your Memory you keep

Each day that passes , of late it just seems

Happiness is slipping away from your dreams

But Life is ever changing

Both the good and the bad

And there far ahead a glimmer

Of the good life you once had

All these thought’s of  being prisoner

Locked away in some jail

And your fight against adversity

Will inevitably prevail

Your home is your Castle

Or so it is always said

With a drawbridge to allay your enemies

A good roof over your head

And there behind the battlements

As you search the world outside

You are in your friendly environment

And with your Allies you can confide

You suffer the hurt and the anger, that others extol

Ever in your presence, and deep in your Soul

But the thing that hurts most

Is the misplacement of  trust

For though you feel un-forgiving

To get back your life you know that you must

For at the end of every dark  tunnel

There is certain to be light

To guide you to the end of that bumpy road

And a new future, Happy, Healthy and Bright
