learning to love the void.

loneliness is a certainty in life. 

welcome it

sit with it

serve it tea

and keep it company.

The personification is strong in this. You display a kind of wisdom here I like. Within our lives, at certain times, we are going to be lonely. It's a fact. Even those who may be married or dating someone will experience it.

To accept it for what it is; to have the strength to pass the days in its presence, knowing this too shall pass, is where real inner strength comes from.

Your poem says a lot in a short space.

Simple truth..if you can not embrace loneliness in a kind way it will seem a cruel thing..

What a beautiful thought.
