Analysis of Solitude of Loneliness

Solitude of Loneliness
By Val Leah Clark
The SOLITUDE OF LONLINESS flown by the wings
of a never ending dream is like snow melting
into a river and a stream, the torrents
rush on and on like the memories of days
gone; to lose and still love, to feel like
two but only one-here are we lost
IN THE SOLITUDE OF LONLINESS
Far beyond the reaches of the sea waiting
for you is me, past the eternal wake of time
how I long for you to be mine ....Still lost
IN THE SOLITUDE OF LONLINESS
days are ending, nights never
Moon the sun the stars and space alone and
dying!
IN THE SOLITUDE OF LONLINESS here we pray
and die and who will cry?
IN THE SOLITUDE OF LONLINESS
But alas all is not lost
IN THE SOLITUDE OF LONLINESS
