"I'm lonely - and stuck in a dilemma." - John Ashleigh - 17 November 2005


As I think.

Lonely, as I speak,

Alone, as I think.

 

Righteous states

As it debates –

That man can do,

What path he may choose.

 

Set back

And I can’t hack,

The grief I cause –

 

Lonely, as I sit,

Alone, as I think.

 

Looking away

Thou does see,

The phantom light

Thou does create.

 

Whispered names

In my pockets,

- But they remain empty.

 

Lonely, as I wait,

Alone, as I think.

 

Shuttered blinds

Calmed behind,

The dilemma both ways,

- and yet it says:

 

Keep warm,

Walk your path

If you think it’s right.

Keep warm John,
& I am with you too!
(I am too big for your pocket,
But keep me in your big heart-
I'll fit there and sit there...)
As Angei said , you are not alone!
(((HUG YOU)))

It is truly noticed, John.

And, you know, the loneliness is freedom...
