Visions
Many Shades of Lonliness
Just being alone,
wanting a third hand,
knowing it's all up to you,
making three trips
to bring in the groceries.
Lost in the region
of a vast, trackless wilderness.
Just wanting to hear
the sound of a human voice,
to share another's thoughts,
Craving companionship,
a friend, a sister or a brother,
having someone to share a meal,
someone to do something with.
Acceptance in a group
where everybody knows your name.
Longing for that special person
whose smile lights up the room,
the touch of her hand,
the warmth of her embrace,
that light in her eyes
which makes it home!
Ah! So many shades of loneliness!
