Though I dwell on a beautiful beach
Closeness is always out of reach
Among thousands of rocks and stones
This one pebble remains alone
Despite the population in this spot
Loneliness seems to be my lot
Disconected in the midst of a crowd
Complete silence while so loud
Glimmers of hope glare down from the sky
But the warmth they bring goes fleeting by
A wave of darkness immerses me
Again I’m smothered and cannot see
Was I designed a piece that just won’t fit
Have the crashing waves over time distorted
I know it’s me everyone else seems fine
I don’t understand why I can’t just get in line
Am I imagining a dark moon so full
Or are my emotions being untruthful
Solitude

Interesting poem, thought provoking. We always view the world from the inside out, and even though we anticipate the world reacting to us, our manner, the way we dress, how we act, etc., it’s mostly us. Everyone in the world is battling their own demons or planting their own gardens. Life is too short. Find something to be happy about, find something you love, reach out to people. It’s amazing how many people feel alone at sometime. You are not alone!

I like it. It’s an excellent reminder that this is not our permanent home. We were made for more; somewhere else; in Heaven with God. We represent Him here, and many times that can be lonely business. I think Satan likes to take us to these thoughts and places to try and make us doubt God and join the worldly crowd. Not that being with a worldly crowd would fix our lonliness, it would just give us more people to be lonely or miserable with. Praise God that with Him we are complete, and never alone. Thanks for sharing.

That insight is helpful. It really coincides with some things going on right now.
