Loneliness

A couple of poems I've gotten done...

One is thoughtful.

One for fun!

Finding What You Seek

“Look for the light,” he said to me.
“When all’s a blank and lonely sea,

And life becomes a mystery,

You'll find there's possibility,

Cause those things you seek, you'll see!”

I shine life's flashlight from the lee,

The darkness flies, the shadows flee.

And in its single beam, I see

Trembling there in lonely glee,

A host of possibles for me!

So he was right in his decree,

Cause I was looking...now I see!

                      *  *  *

Never Lonely

I live with people--quite a few,

We all do things that people do,

At times there’s no one in my croft,

(And know this doesn't happen oft),

But for a moment, I despair,

As loneliness breaks o’er me there,

But then I see the brimming bin,

And dirty clothes enclosed within,

And I realize that I,

Will not be lonely by and by,

I needn’t have a ‘lonely spree’,

With endless wash for company!

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Next week, for super, summer fun,

We'll talk of ice cream, everyone!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!
Topics for the next few weeks (with a huge thank-you to Mimi, who comes up with so many of them!)...
