LONELINESS
I wandered along the lonely streets,
In the presence of light,
Couldn't remember how I'm here,
Walking along the empty ways!
I dreamt one day,
Of corals and fishes,
Of lakes and trees,
And a dozen more.....
But my dream,of seas and landscapes;
Nothing could I see.
Just the dark empty streets,
Of an unknown place.
My temptations to reach
My destination;
But my legs are not allowing me
They're holding me back!
The more I walk,the more I rest.
Am getting old, I realize,
I think,'must be here all time'
But my faith and hope,
Keeps me travelling
Near and far,here and there.
Only to reach another place of loneliness.........
And never to my destination!

I wandered lonely as a cloud
ReplyDeleteThat floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Suruma! Can you tell me who wrote these lines?
I loved your poem! Keep writing.
