Analysis of Aloneliness
Aloneliness,
thickening fog
haze to look out of
safe in your bog
Aloneliness,
creating the space
for Laura to fill
her words to efface
Aloneliness,
time and again
taking me places
love’s never been
Aloneliness,
message so clear
thundering wasteland
silence in tears
Aloneliness,
faithful in pain
ever so near
my eyes close again
Aloneliness,
most trusted friend
you that I count on
there till the end
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
