This si such a wonderful poem. It brings so many emotions to the surface.

Distant memories encounter solitude echoes
days of wonder tumble through time
Clock ticks unmelodious beats
again to hear, another church bell chime

Sitting alone with only memories. Time measured by the only sound a ticking clock. Terrible feelings of solitude. How sad.

Beauty seized by the hand of age
ancient soles shuffle blind
Love of kin remains a silent knock
slapping the senescent, heart and mind

It is a very sad truth how forgotten the old and sick are. Waiting for the phone to ring or a knock on the door. How many days go by without someone remembering the sadness of family members who are alone. This brings tears to my eyes.

Tears whirl and stream the creases
forlornness has walked it's final stroll
Praying for the Lord's arms of comfort
Please ! carry home this lonely soul

Sometimes the hand of death is more welcome then sitting alone.
Excellent job!
Love Cindy

Luane? I almost forgot who you were? It's been so long!

This is freaking fabulous! Wow...I'm in awe right now. Partly because I've seen it and their eyes when you walk whether or not they know who you are or not...they sparkle! People love people...especially in those times...
