Lonely Life I Travel Poem by Jordan Josephson

While on my lonely life I travel
I seldom feel myself alone,
For images fill my minds eye
With scenes and pleasures of its own. 

But again alone I lay in soft green grass
Traveling thru adventures fast 
Seeing all I could grasp
Missing every piece and part

To feel my hand so kindly pressed,
To know myself beloved at last,
To think my mind has found a rest,
My life of solitude is past!  

A mind whence warm affections flow,
How sweet the thought of love would be
But all for naught cause none for me,
But wait, I hear and my minds aglow.

On a sunny day, alone I lay
Many summer afternoon;
The trees did wave their plumy crests,
Too soon the sun did set!

A thousand thousand gleaming fires
Seemed kindling in the air;
A thousand thousand silvery never Evers
Resounded far and near:  

Methought, the very air I breathed
Was full of sparks and fire,
My mind alight 
By that celestial fire!  

To feel my hand so kindly pressed,
To know myself beloved at last,
To think my mind has found a rest,
My life of solitude is past!  

And, while my vast mind echoings rung
To us, in unimagined bloom,
That we may overflow the sky
With universal joy!  


Never ever alone again!
