No Longer Lonely

she sleeps in silence
and it is not sad
a comfortable place
she has not had
she found this place
where life is real
free to laugh and cry
where it’s alright to feel
now, this is all mine
I call it my own
no longer am I lonely
even when I am alone

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

I am glad you are no longer lonely. I'm married, and still lonely.

This so reminds me of a tiny apartment I used to have...loved it and your poem.

You write this so well, my thoughts exactly. I am on my way to this place myself and you are so right when you say it is not lonely, even when alone. I have often said the same thing myself.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Good to know that the earth is not flat, and that you have not fallen off the edge.
So good to see around again, Lady.
