'Lonely'

[Way Nada]

I float lonely as a leaf.
Blown by the wind; swayed in air
Balanc'd in the breeze; it fell...
It reach'd the ground
And rot forever!

I fly lonely as a bird.
It soar'd the vast horizon;
Down the borderless sky,
It glid'd to the wind...
And never seen again!

I find lonely is my heart.
Sadness everywhere; it cried
And sobb'd, it is uncar'd.
It whisper'd; 'your name is Heart',
But Love is nowhere!

I feel simply as a man.
This pathless world I roamed,
It doesn't mean to me at all.
The lapidarian I met just said;
'Here lies a man, a lonely man! '

Loneliness, I guess, is part of the human condition and the human state. We are stressed to think that it is the prime goal to be with someone, a wife, a girl friend, a lover, etc. However, physically and physiologically speaking, we are always alone. We were conceived alone, we developed in our mother's womb alone, we exited her womb alone. And we shall return back to the earth alone. To be alone is not necessarily a bad thing, for to be alone is to be content with nature and to open one's heart and soul to Father God.

Lovers, friends, family members come and go, my dear friend, but in the end, we all will be alone. We entered this world alone, and we shall exit it as well.

Best,
Lorenzo
