Darkness Of Another Night Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Our world turns inside out when we are lonely and without
any one to talk with or listen to us.

A terrible predicament for a human being on earth, to sit
between four walls and not utter a word all day and night,
because we have no one to talk to or be with.

So ineffectual and at a loss we become, as we sit silently,
doing nothing and crying quietly within.

Remembering the past through memories and visions of all
the good times we used to have.

Totally alone and bereft, wondering why, what has happened
to cause us to be in this predicament and situation.

So tirelessly wanting, needing and desiring companionship
from some source or another.

Placing our prayers in God's hands and hoping that soon,
we will no longer be alone in this world of ours.

Not looking forward to the holidays of this Christmas season,
not wanting to be alone with our thoughts and memories any
more.

Placing our hearts in hands of God, just walking into the
darkness of another night, still alone in this world.
