Lone Being

The sun is down
The wind blowin
My fire goin out
Just on a life line

Surrounded by thousands
I'm still all alone
The people I reach for
Don't even notice my attempts

A drive down these long roads
Among the fields and houses
Provides comfort for my dying spirit
The sad song and wind feed my fire

But it takes more than wind and words
To keep alive my dying spirit
The brown fields I pass
Remind me of how close I am
Running out of life

The eagle flying above me
Looks down with sympathetic eyes
On someone who flies solo
Against their will hoping for a change

The wind blows hard against me
It keeps me awake, from my sweet dreams
The chill of the air curses my life bearing heart

The fog above the city
Clouds my path
I can't see what happens next
This rough road hints nothing

Sad songs on repeat comfort my troubled soul
Give me a sense of hope
That I can't find anywhere else
People's words trouble me, their silence unbearable

The eagle in the sky
Shows me what I am
A lone majestical being
Going on with no one
Wishing for a companion
That will never come

To fly against the wind
Tires me down to the ground
Determined to continue on
I walk upon predators

Driving keeps me sane
It allows me to collect
To regain strength
To keep moving through this crowd
Who doesn't know who I am
Or if I even exist among them

My fire almost out
Burning on the cause
On those I remember
To one day be with them again

I'm just a being out here
Alone fighting my way on
Just like those before me
To pass those dried tears
To someday see what could be

I liked the photo and deep thoughts.
"My fire almost out

The above lines are my wishes too. Find my elders and friends missed once again. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.
