Being Alone
A Poem by Gerry Legister
When good friends are gone, we are left alone,
With opinions to ponder as strangers in the land.
Only my soul see the seasons when I am
alone
Wearing the camouflage of a mocking frown,
The frock grows longer when I am on my own
Serene Emblems of clouds sparkle in my
crown.
When the whole realm of close friends
disappear
The eyes within my heart became black and
blue,
Misty springs waltz through the atmosphere,
Gave the world no sign of the solitude I
knew.
Just as fear is anxious about reasons for
doubt
Floating dreams struggle with truths to
enjoy,
The normal part of existing life breaking
out
Trying to run away from emotional ties of
memory.
We remain esteemed strangers within the
walls
Of the challenging places where we sit
alone,
In painful zone listening to our own distant
voices
Playing calm tunes to replicate our delicate
form.
The forlorn glands of pride were soiled and
sunny
Indiscreet fears bunched and bungled
together,
On every phony feeling awaken inside of my
tummy
The voices of loneliness own every defining
hour.
Shared on the long road of Independent
demand
When good friends are gone, we are left
alone
With opinions to ponder as strangers in the
land,
Reaping galvanize reforms to leave the
tragic union.
