---Solitude --- ~ Looking across the dreary expanse That was the bleak morning sky Brought to mind thoughts of you. ~ In that vast skyscape filled with The gray clouds that signaled gloom, There was a break, a brief break. ~ A break in the gloom that liberated Your brilliant light to blaze upon My soul like nothing before or since. ~ Even as the glow warmed through to My soul, thawed my once frigid heart, I knew That the break would be painfully short. ~ My joy was tempered by the sight of the Dreary clouds slowly engulfing the light. In What seemed like a moment, the light was gone. ~ Now as I look across the sky, I see no more Breaks in this gloom, it goes to the end of The horizon, as far as the heart can see, There is Solitude. No one ever listened themselves into trouble. |

LonelyStranger~ There is fragile beauty in bleak thoughts that are so well written~ 'A break in the gloom that liberated Your brilliant light to blaze upon My soul like nothing before or since.' Once warmed by the light, it's difficult to conceive being without it~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Great expression of emotions. Solitude is our shadow. |
