    ALONE

    When you’re lonely and scared...

    Every lighted window in the darkness is like a beacon from a ship in a sea of despair,

    Every barking dog a wolf tearing at the fragile cardboard door of sanity,

    Every happy couple enemies of your state of mind,

    Every morning a new beginning,

    Every night a long, dark journey,

    Every person a potential friend or lover,

    Every flower is still lovely,

    Every night star still shines,

    The sun still rises,

    The moon looks down,

    Life goes on!

    I think that at times it is better to face the dark and be in the light together with someone.

    Metaphors combined into a powerful masterpiece. You have left me speechless. The more I read it, the more I soak in it. Great job!

    Thank you so much...high praise from one such as yourself.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
