Well said.

Ruan, Communication is one of the keys to subside loneliness
but trust also is on the list...and unfortunately trust has
diminished considerably.

Enjoyed very much.

Always,

Deborah

Sad but true. And these the lonely people seem to walk by and not even notice their existence. When you see this in someone, its amazing what just a little friendly conversation does for them. It does make a difference. I've seen it myself. People are just too afraid to reach out anymore. You still have to feel out the situation. I don't want to encourage someone to go talk to homicidal maniac.

In a world where more attention is given to possessions rather than persons, it is no wonder that human life holds so little value to so many. Still, it is amazing how one caring person like yourself can go so far toward making the world a better place. M.True

My sentiments exactly. Yet, so few give any attention to the reforming of these habitual behaviors.

As I suspected- even with free verse your artistic talent weaves the feelings leaving us profoundly touched.

Yet we are overcrowded. The forced loneliness of our frenetic lifestyle, separated both by physical distance from our extended family and by the use of technology, is creating increasingly more loneliness. While great art and literature have come from the most lonely, it is a sad commentary when much of our population spends so much time and suffering over loneliness when it can easily be averted by the simple act of contacting the lonely and communicating with them.

With my visits and telephone calls, I hope that I have helped someone reach up from their loneliness. My mother, perhaps the greatest communicator our family has ever known, has become very lonely in her apartment because she has aphasia, making it difficult to communicate by email and she is near deaf, making it difficult to talk to anyone.

A very moving poem that deserves a second and a third read. Still, the world can be a lonely place and it is for all too many.

Peace be with you.

You evoke deep emotions that rip to the core.
This is a powerful as anything I've read in many years.

Wrong:

Aloneness Is Pain Of Being Alone

Solitude Is Glory Of Being Alone...

Etal: You Make Your (Own)World What
It Is a Lonely Place...

TRASK...

Powerfully true as far as I am concerned, Ruan. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

Wow! Ruan, you made one hell of an impact on me with this one.
