Lonely? or Alone?
by Jerry Bolton

Rated "G" by the Author.

To be alone
And to be lonely
Ain't the same . . .
No

A lonely mind
Takes notice of its loneliness and weeps
But if the mind is merely alone
It has a peaceful soul

Lonely only hears the bells
Chime for "them"
Heaven is bleak and gray
Brutal Sky rains down hurt

Like an approaching tide
Drinking greedily from a lonely mind
N'er sated until nothing is left

Well done with the striking differences
so defined in your poem *Jerry*

Nicely done, Jerry....there's a striking difference between two such similar words and states of mind...

The difference depends on how well we can keep company with ourselves ...

It is no coincidence I guess, that the acronym for your title is LOA... the lonely soul is on a Leave Of Absence... from others, from itself... a tragic truth brought home with force and finesse in your poem today, my friend.

You are so right, sometimes I do feel lonely however, but it's because I miss my soul mate. Lovely poetry as always, and yes being alone can be peaceful and serene.

Much peace, love and light,

Been lonely by chance,
alone by choice,
but new love in my life
gave my heart new voice.

Well put, and with a lyrical spin, even more poignant.
