One lonely day

There's something comforting in being lonley. Feeling the emotions and going about our days. Poem for those who speak in their minds.

There was once a lonely day
Sun blazing bright
She walks outside
Without a word in sight

Normally she keeps to herself
But she hoping not today
For it is that very special day
In the month of May

Slowly she walks to a nearby park
And hears the whispers of trees
If only she can talk like that
With the swaying breeze

Content as can be
She realizes something
That even if she doesn't talk
She listens without judging

There's nothing more
That she enjoys
Then to listen
To the humming noises

The rat race is something
That she is accustomed to
But when she listens
She realized
There is something more than me and you

Author's Note

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like being socially active but you find yourself thinking instead??

Hi Kady
This is a very telling piece on what goes on in our minds...so in fact we speak with our minds...some might think it lonely and sad, but some of us enjoy solitude and just listening to music, or bird songs and other melodies of nature...frankly, i could use more "mind time"... and i would not be "lonely"
NICE!
Warmly, B

People sometimes ask me if it is lonely living by myself.
At this point in my life after several relationships and being set in my ways, I am comfortable.
I tell them..there is a difference between being alone and being lonely.
Getting away from the voices, existing with some silence...we sometimes need that.

Hiii Jacobbb!!!
Sooo true! Being alone and being lonely are two totally different things. I agree something comforting about being alone. Thanks for the reviewww

It’s interesting what the poem has to say, but for me writing it as third person weakens it. I would rather you addressed these thoughts and emotions as they exist within you rather than as observations of another. That would give it more authenticity.

In my head at least i call these days watching days, as opposed to participating days.
When I lived and worked in a city all I can remember is the distractions of noise interrupting every waking thought but now that I live in work in the countryside I feel these days as a release valve, giving me time to think and observe, without having a boss breathing down my neck.
I guess no matter what day it is our surroundings play a part in how they play out, but one things for sure I prefer having the time to think and ponder things instead of just adding to the ever increasing noise in everyone's day.
If only people would stop asking what im doing looking at trees and maybe take the obvious hint of my nearby van emblazoned with Forrestry Scotland or maybe the uniform should be a give away, but at least its just a query, rather than someone shouting it at me! 😀

Hiii Lorryyy,

I enjoyed reading your comment about being an observer. Congratulations on working at the countryside!! I used to work in the city and boy do I not miss it either. I can totally relate.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!!
