LONELINESS

Lately I've been feeling that

maybe loneliness is a human feeling sensation

Given to us, to drive us

into relationship

Even hunger drives us to food

and tiredness drives us to sleep

In that sense;

it's beautiful gift,

for without loneliness to make us hurt

some of us would walk ourselves in 

and wither in our separateness.

As I'm driven into relationship

by my loneliness

Life opens up to me again.

An old man wrote himself a poem for his 73rd birthday. 

His writing always been motivation for me to write more and more. To become like him; living immortal in his writing, is all I want. 

Though, I never thought that it would be something that reveal his lonely heart. 

Though I never thought that  I would miss him and his writing this much.
