Alone but Not Lonely

"Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself." ~Tom Wilson

 

Alone but not lonely

A table for one

A tab paid by me

I went out just for fun

 

Alone but not lonely

Banks and grocery stores

Journey’s made on my own

Not traveled alone before

 

Alone but not lonely

Time spent deep in thought

What I can make of my life

The feelings it brought

 

Alone but not lonely

Not in need of a man

In need of friends only

While figuring my life’s plan

 

Alone but not lonely

There is no empty space to fill

No void in my life

Only dreams to fulfill

 

Alone but not lonely

With myself I’m content

Not yearning for companionship

Time with myself is well spent

 

Alone but not lonely

The peace in the silence

Gives me time for my thoughts

To my life it brings balance

Very good poem..:)

Alone but not lonely
There is no empty space to fill
No void in my life
Only dreams to fulfill

--great stanza!

Bravo to you for realizing that we need not be "hitched" to another person to give meaning to our lives. Break out of the box and enjoy that "time well spent" with yourself. Nicely done...the repetition got to me a little by the end of the poem, but I know that it was intentional and spoke to the overal tone of the work. In the end, nicely done!

It is wonderful to be content with one's own company. When you like yourself, it actually makes you more appealing to others.
