Loneliness - Solitude - Enlightenment!

 When you lose your love, who made you laugh,

Who shared your life, your “other” half

You felt bereft, chilled to the bone

A gaping hole yawned in your home.

 

And whether you wished it, or no

The shades of sorrow brought you low;

No helping hand to share the chores

You began to miss his flaws …

 

But solitude means time to think

While you this bitter chalice drink;

Time to delve deep in yourself

As you shelter on your shelf.

 

Over months or years or more

You realise life means to explore

And develop personal dreams

Enlightenment in profound streams!

 

One chapter in your life is closed

But don’t despair; be one of those

Who now walks in pastures new

Learning at last to be – YOU!
