Alone But Not Lonely - Poem by Lyn Paul
Alone but not lonely
Broke yet not poor
Down, yet not out
Smiling, but not laughing
Blessed yet not enriched
Hurting though not pained
Hearing but not heard
Risen yet not rising
Old but not elderly
Living..... Though, Not alive
Sweet and never sweetened
Angered though not angry
Fearing..... but not afraid
Awake and often woken
Beautiful, Inside and out
Anxious to lose these anxieties
To find again real life
Honest...Yes
Too honest
Now
Hungry for success
Alone but not lonely

i sometimes indulge for days in the sorting through of very mediocre poetry. i am tempted to write scathing comments on syntax, punctation and the like as you saw in my sarcastic little piece. in your case, this is, not the case. you are a very talented writer. and coincidentally as a child my favorite comedian was Paul Lynde. be well.

Sounds like a poem about starting over when one is no longer young but not yet old. It's a scary but exciting proposition captured in your writing. Thanks for sharing! :) (Report) Reply
Excellent write Lynn, reminded me of 2 Corinthians 4: 8. I like the style you used here, straight but profound, spontaneous and striking at the same time. The poem's simplicity makes is beautiful. (Report) Reply
