In the sad
Loneliness
Of the empty nest,
Does the bird
That built it
See its, shadow?
As do we,
After a life
Of lonely stress,
See the caress,
Some never had,
Not even,
Borrowed...
A touching and deeply poignant poem. Sadness can consume the core of our being. How hard are those who never had a glimpse of joy in life. How lucky are we that we have Poetry that can touch our heart and tingle our mind despite the hardship and sadness we feel inside. A beautiful and heartfelt write so wonderfully conveyed.
Better to be lonely than to be stuck living with someone who doesn't let you be yourself. Finally, after eight days since I posted my first poem, Poem Hunter has allowed them to be activated.
