On loneliness and separation from the wider world…
The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
Mitch Albom, American Author who famously penned ‘Tuesdays With Morrie’
. . .
Seated soft in blinding dark,
A room by shadow ruled.
Where overwhelming Silence harked,
The drowning loners pooled.
.
“I have friends!” They told themselves,
Defying silent Song.
Silence into a forte delves
To prove the loners wrong.
.
In fulminating protest
The loners summoned strength.
They weren’t to brood in sorrow’s nest,
Not by any length!
.
Revolutionary smiles
Positioned on their face,
They now began to strategize,
That Silence to displace.
.
Grins and giggles only grew.
The loners’ plans were set.
The brained events that would ensue,
Would never be forget.
.
For in that great blinding dark
Where loners were to meet,
Friendship’s flame came into spark
As Silence faced defeat.
