Me, You and Us

Loneliness is what
I call my armor and my shield
Its my protection
From a cruel and unforgiving world

Loneliness is my companion....
My friend & My Foe

Loneliness speaks my language
So only I can hear
Its also my shadow
Its always here

Loneliness, why do so many
Run from you, so far away...

To understand your place
To us, Yes... to Us

In the vast fields of emotion
To pluck you when you are ripe
Yes, Loneliness bears fruits
For my body that is worn
Like nourishment to my bones
I have welcomed you to my Home

I will embrace you
As my own kin
So from the beginning
Loneliness is my
Only Friend

the poem is meant to be a bit more about the joy of loneliness... many people are so scared of being alone, there is serenity in being alone..you learn a lot about yourself
