Theme Thursday for June 12, 2014 - LONELY - June 11, 2014

Lonely

The sea stretches out forever,

As far as the eye can see,

Waves lapping gently at the shore,

And I'm alone as I can be.

The breeze whispers in the palms,

Making music in my ears,

I am in total solitude,

But I haven't any fears.

Little crabs scurry on the sand,

The sunset warms my heart,

I escape from a crowded, angry world,

To help my healing start.

I find solace all around me,

In the peace and beauty here,

I'm alone but I'm not lonely,

Worries and problems disappear.

Missing You at Christmas

Missing You at Christmas

The house is full of Christmas cheer,
An angel tops the tree,
Cinnamon smells pervade the air,
But you're not here with me.

An eggnog glass is held on high,
And offered up in toast,
Gifts are piled beneath the tree,
But I miss what I want most.

The festive lights are sparkling,
Holly garlands are in place,
In the softly twinkling candlelight,
I always see your face.

In the joyful songs of carolers,
At this time when all rejoice,
My heart can't feel its fullest,
I so long to hear your voice.

As Christmas day dawns again,
My thoughts are far from here,
My love is festooned with a bow,
And sent to someone dear.

A Love Not Found

She looked back on her life,

She had accomplished much,

Degrees from famous colleges,

Accolades and such.

She was acclaimed a beauty,

Envied all her life,

But, in spite of perfect features,

She had never been a wife.

She saw the wonders of the world,

And traveled parts unknown,

Though people thronged about her,

She always felt alone.

Her home was like a palace,

Filled with the grandest things,

Cold inanimate objects,

The kind that money brings.

She ate at gourmet restaurants,

And sipped exquisite wines,

And dallied in romances,

But she read between the lines.

When her life was ending,

She had one regret profound,

In spite of everything she had,

She mourned a love not found
