| A REPLY TO A LATE NITE POEM |
|
|
|
I,
too, am alone, at night, |
|
and
lonely - |
|
and
sometimes |
|
scared..... |
|
but
I think to the |
|
future |
|
and
possibilities of |
|
"might"
and "may" |
|
Hopefully,
if I |
|
survive
the lonely |
|
night
- |
|
the
sun will shine |
|
next
day... |
|
and
I can write a poem, |
|
or
take a picture |
|
of
a dog on ice |
|
or
a cardinal in the snow. |
|
This
is how I deal |
|
with
loneliness |
|
which
has always lived |
|
in me - it's the only way I know. |
