Only a Lonely Soul

This poem is one expressing deep sorrow by the poet as he reflects on the human journey; the human footprint; our direction and destiny. The poem is a sentimental metaphor in which the poet uses his person as a singularity to express humanity's sorrow collective - the lonely soul is his, and yet such is humanity, a collectivity of lost souls, vanishing footprints walking away from their own foundation.

Only a lonely soul,
Only a lonely soul would know
My heartache, my heartbreak and how low,
How lowly my spirit falls,
When with sorrow my emotions grow,
As my eyes behold
The waywardness with which,
The inhumanity and lack of compassion;
This path our human footprints stroll.

Only a lonely soul,
Only a lonely soul can feel,
This pain monumental;
This reject instrumental,
To our changing rigors flow!

A lonely soul alone can fathom,
A lonely soul alone can know!
