Loneliness
Loneliness
A quick glance across the room
A stare at the full moon
The silence of the night
A memory of a special touch
A special sound of one's voice
The stillness in the empty room
A smile that flashes in my mind
A favorite scent fills the nostrils
The memory of time once spent
by Nancy Robinson Wright
