'The Lonely Man Gazing At The Solitary Star' Poem by Novice Writer

As I lay in bed with only a flickering lamp,
Gazing through my window at the lonely sky,
I feel a hollow ache in my heart
As I watch the solitary star on high.

Memories flood back, and I am disintegrating,
Slowly falling apart in this empty room.
Then I hear a noise, a faint disturbance
That pulls me back from my impending doom.

I open the door and see nothing but wind,
A feeling of discontent replaces my decay.
Nostalgic thoughts fill my mind
And I remember happier, brighter days.

I slumber into the abyss, feeling lost and alone,
Wishing for a rope with a lamp to guide my way.
But years have passed, and my hope is gone
Until two familiar hands reach out from the fray.

The hands are hers, the one I cannot forget,
Filled with light and love, they lift me from my dream.
And I awaken to a new day,
Feeling renewed and hopeful once again it seems.
