Loneliness Won'T Ever Leave Us Alone

Loneliness Won’t Ever Leave Us Alone

Loneliness strikes at the very heart of what compels us
as human beings as we seek love and hope in this life.

The magic majesty of life is, at once, all-encompassing, 
yet overwhelming, at times, in the world of humankind.

Loneliness may signal a loss of love and a loss of hope
that all is not what it should or it could be in one’s life.

Over time, the spirit of loneliness that may haunt each of
us in our lifetime can devolve into anger and disillusion.

Loneliness, at times, cries out loudly in the depths of our
human soul, and coping with it may be too much to endure.

Where there is love and joy, there can still be a degree of
loneliness that bespeaks a sadness and despair deep inside. 

In the true essence of one’s life, this utter spirit of loneliness
is the ugly companion that all of us confront as human beings.

Loneliness lurks in the shadows of our minds and lies ever ready
to strike in moments of anger, despair, sadness, and forlorn hope.

A feeling of deep sadness and despair may never say why all the 
tenderness and love that our souls possess will survive as we cry.

A river of tears will help us as we search for that special love in 
this life whilst we know that loneliness won’t ever leave us alone.
