Alone Poem by Linda L. Franklin

Every day I’m with other people
Yet I’m alone
Maybe I’m in a crowded theater
A baseball stadium or a concert hall
Doesn’t matter who is near
I’m alone.
There are times when I can feel you near me
Yet no one is around
Or I can hear you whisper in my ear
Words that no one can hear
You’re in my thoughts
Whether I’m awake or asleep
As my travels take me around the globe
My mind & spirit are with you
Yet I’m alone
We walk city streets
And roam the countryside
Every day I’m with other people
Yet I’m alone.
