If you feel lonely
read a book
or watch an ant,
stand at the balcony
and observe
millions of same story
in different clothes,
you can even think of that person
whom you carry in your brain
like a nagging dripping rain,
listen to the footfall of the day
that had already receded; or
stare at your sorrow.
Your sorrow is a tree that was pulled out
but whose roots had spread all across,
your sorrow is an old photo on the wall
that was removed long ago
but the square imprint remained,
Your sadness is a blood red hibiscus
with a red bud and a red corpse.
And then, suddenly, ... perhaps ...
in the smell of a dovetail autumn wind
or in between your shadow and the soul
you may find peace.

I agree, with so many things to attend to in this beautiful world, there are many ways one can cure loneliness!
Beautiful poem. But why so melancholy Baishali ? Cheer up !
Deep, Moon. Love the imagery.
Hope you're good:)
Commented earlier, but I'm here again with the Pantry. I am so glad you shared this with us today! I do think loneliness is something we all fight at times, one way or another.
Nice verses, but are these remedies sufficient?

Absolutely lovely...I felt your words deeply.
Your sorrow is a tree that was pulled out
but whose roots had spread all across,
your sorrow is an old photo on the wall
that was removed long ago
but the square imprint remained,

I resonated with the same lines as Brian. And was comforted at the end with the hope of finding peace. Loved this.
Yeah there is much to look around and be found to get rid of lonliness, of course the cat would eat the ant.
A motivational poem, simple and powerful..I do follow
I love this poem Moon, beautiful imagery and fabulous phrases and I simply love the line 'in between your shadow and the soul you may find peace. Thank you :)
This poem shares an upbeat and active attitude that would certainly serve well any who feel alone, lonely.
Very motivational poem. As someone with a rough past, I can really relate to it.
