The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2001-12-18 03:14 PM


She walks alone through darkest night
her crimson cloak blows round her face
no longer is it worth the fight
for all is gone without a trace.

She walks alone under the stars
her pointed boots tap out her pain
it seems her love is lost afar
and nothing can hold back the rain.

She walks alone in shadows deep
her spirit bent like twisted bough
still seeking a new dream to keep
she prays to find, not knowing how.

She's walking on, still so alone
her misted hopes remain unknown.

Solitude...WOW!  I have felt this, and yearned for this, and run from this.  There is nothing like a moments repite (by a huge body of water-for me) to pull those emotions out of our soul.

Great paint!

where catalinamoon walks on

There is hope in every footstep, my friend.  Know that and chance to dream.  Peace to you and best wishes for the holidays. *hugs*

I read a strength in this, Sandra, I love it, "she walks alone" I love the way the whole poem flows.  This is style.

You may walk alone through a night, but you do not walk alone through life. There are always friends beside you. Lovely poem, though sad and reflective.

A very touching piece...These lines touched me most...

She walks alone under the stars
her pointed boots tap out her pain

...

She's walking on, still so alone
her misted hopes remain unknown.
~~~~~~~

The sense of loneliness here seems overwhelming....

Thank you

A very sad write, very compelling to make one want to reach out and take in the lonely walker...

catalinamoon - I felt this inside when I read it. Perhaps it was to close to home. Well written...

Sandra;

I am glad I have come back here.. I certainly miss reading your work.. this is an amazing piece.  I had almost forgotten how much I connect with your writings and how I can almost feel your emotions; as they often remind me of my own.

Merry Christmas to you!
