Lonely Spirit


Alone I walk a world so dead_


Sins atonement forced to be.


Screaming words inside my head_


For torturous company.


Blackened hills to east and west_


Barren landscape all.


Lonely spirit walks abreast_


Waiting for my Master’s call.


No door to open wide upon_


No invitations issued forth.


Weary trudging on and on_


Cold wind blowing from the north.


Desolate peak of mountaintop_


Bones picked clean by buzzard’s gore.


Lonely spirit here must stop_


Above the desert floor.


Curling into fetal shape_


Crying now beneath grey skies.


Ragged clothes around me drape_


No life here abides.


Master, hear my ardent pleas_


Remove me from this morbid place.


I beg for my release_


Have mercy for my lack of faith.

You've expressed the subconscious conversation many have with their particular "Ruling Spirit"...

Those conversations continue to travel through space searching for a "listener" for eternity. You've captured one and placed it here for all to read. Thank you.

Elizabeth Melton Parsons-- How can anyone with such a beautiful, melodic name write verses with such feelings of unbearable aloneness, pleading for release?

You captured the agony of loneliness completely, Elizabeth. As a sensitive human soul, I want to rush to your side to comfort you, to assure you that things will be better, that things can and do change, that you do have a future filled with wonder and love.

Wow! You really get to me.
Strong imagery, powerful phrasing.
A great write, Elizabeth.
Now, for your next poem let's try Disneyland at night!

Love to you,
Richard

Hi! Friend!, Elizabeth, Hope this new day finds you well. I read your poem,"Lonely Spirit". These words describe sheer lonliness and a spirit that wants forgiveness (My opinion), Great work! . Keep it up.

Very painful and despairing....
We must never, ever give up Hope and Trust in the Source of All Good..
These little things....are sent to try us..
