Being Alone

Posted on November 20, 2019 by Margie

Being alone

is not being lonely

it’s a long walk

on a wide beach

where the only sound

is a bird’s cry

the wind racing a blue sky

and surf riding the shore ~

_______________________

Loneliness

is being alone

with a room full of people

who don’t care

when despair is a tear

on a frozen cheek

in a bright room ~

  Hi Sandy, how nice to see you here. Yes, it’s been a long time. I have not written on my old blog in over 3 years and on a whim, I started a blog here on WordPress. I think of you and all those kind people that I visited on Blogger and those that visited me. I am doing okay and I hope all is well with you! Thank you for the kind words on my writing!
