Only the lonely

Only the lonely fine last nights
tears in the palm of their hands..

Only the lonely pour their
souls out to walls that
cannot hear

Only the lonely can see their
quivering lips in that old
cracked mirror

And only the lonely will hear
a weeping God mend their
broken heart-

Hi Cafe a fine pen on a suject close to my heart ty

People don't realise how many people suffer in silence and how poorly equiped the various agencies are to handle it
Recently we got snowed in for 3-4 days and I couldn't get out. It suddenly dawned on me that If I was stuck how about others and more importantly those for who this was a daily thing. So I got in touch with age concern(now age UK) and found to my horror that there was a long waiting list and even when a person got to the top someone would only call in every 2-3 weeks.
absolutely appalling situation. I decided to start my own help group and raise awareness among people locally by droppping off leaflets I printed. I am glad to say I now have four helpers and our local weekly papaer is running an article this week to help raise awareness because I firmly believe it's just we are so busy with our own lives we forget about others less fortunate bouquet teddybear

A most melancholy write Jim with more than a grain of truth.

Best wishes

Cafe, it's a beautiful poem you've written about loneliness. Observing life as it is can sometimes be personally painful and I'm feeling some pain in your poetry here, I'd call that a gift. Thanks for sharing your poem.

Tjis is a very sad one my dear Jim, but we do go through this state of our life so often. The last line while it is soothing for the lonely ones to weeping God mend their heart, I wouldn't prefer to be in that stge just to hear God. Thanks for sharing my dear Jim.teddybear gift cheers hug

He is my dear Jim. I am hoping that a wing would sprout from its limbs so that it could fly here. My grandson Jaxon is telling her mom to buy rocket fuel for his transformer so that he could send it to his papo (John) so he could come here fast in California. Ah well, let us see about that.

A poignant and sensitive write. cheers

Fantastic, Cafe Jim!

Sad, yet gives great hope. Only the lonely know how real your words are - and I imagine you've been there since you've written it so eloquently... as I've felt it so strongly myself just that very same way.

May I sit at your table.

How wonderful
How sad
How sticks of needles
to knit
the mending heart

What clear crisp vision
you envelope
holding one to you
Whom Loves You

Your GOD
