In the golden morning glow
I couldn't think of a better show

I saw the dawn come up in glory
In  my heart was another story

How does one become so embedded
In anothers heart, soul, and head

That when the person isn't there
Nothing's the same nor seems as fair

Saw Etna put on a spectacular display
Our love used to effect me  this way

Now it's become more like a flatline
There's nothing left to make it  shine

My days are all under remote control
I've lost my appetite and have no goal

There doesn't seem to be any cure
I pray for the day I can feel once more

I hear many others say the same thing
Makes me  wonder what's happening
 
Solo's are in vogue no need to defend
Is it just me or do I sense a sad trend

Hmm, a-ha! yep, solo is probably a sad trend! *sigh*

A beautiful but heartbreaking poem, deeply touching indeed.
Love, B&R

It's not as much a trend, as a realization, that whatever our standards have been, we need to re-evaluate them. As doing the same things over and over and expecting different results, is by definition, insane. Art

Beautiful Eileen!
I second Jude's & Susan's review ...!
As is said: we are born alone, and die alone... therefore, much of the in between time seems destined to be alone. Then we are All One, not really alone, learning about our hidden inherent Oneness.
Despite all that, I do hope you join with your beloved post haste.
Love, Suzie :-D

i know that there are times when i feel connected to people. as though, even though i am alone, i am a part of them. but when i let them know i am most definitely connected to them, they often then, disconnect from me - perpetuating the never-ending cycle of solo-ness.

hey - great poem eileen, you struck a chord in me...lol...

life is based on being solo yet it can still behold the totality of human experience ... that's what a poet has the capabilites of doing ... being alone yet encompassing all ...

Girlfriend!!! It's the moon and it's the season for change. So many passionate people who are creative feel they are at a crossroads. I've talked with many and we all are facing a change if we want to grow. I love the fearlessness of change for the positives I create when I'm down. Last August I coudn't think past a moment and I cried facing a change that scared the living daylights out of me. I lost my shine and was fading but duess what? I decided to grit my teeth and dig in to make a posritive change out of heartache. I made it through and feel like a million and the best thing!!! MY shine came back. I'm behind you and I see that glow. Can't fool me. It's getting brighter.
Love and peace,
Susan

More and more people are going solo these days, for fear of a multitude of possibilites, and things have never been so bleak in our society as they are now, without going into the details, which are well documented..
Basically many people have adopted a Fortress Mentality to protect their feelings, emotions and body from being hurt or invaded !
Sad and doleful write which is reflective of 21 st Century life
Blessings
