ONE IN A MILLION
Alone
in the midst of a bustling city.
Unknown.
Alone.
Surrounded yet on his own.
He feels pretty
alone
in the midst of a bustling city.

One in a Million
alone
A (Not So) Distant Memory
A (NOT SO) DISTANT MEMORY
Tossed aside
having lost purpose
in this life.
Abandoned
like a broken toy, useless:
social calendar.

Solitude
SOLITUDE
A
lone
wolf stands
at the edge
of the midnight sky.
The horizon stretches far, wide,
beyond what my eyes
can see. The
wolf stands
a
-lone.

Alone In A Crowd
ALONE IN A CROWD
The family “summer vacations” are planned. Money laid away. And children are counting the days until they hit their favorite vacation spots. I will see some go to the beach to play in sand and surf; others, to the Happiest Place on earth. Photos will be taken…many of which I will offer to take so dad or mom is not left out. Souvenirs purchased. Memories will be made, and each family will go their own way at the end of the day. Together. And I will return to my home. Alone.

OF WISHES AND DREAMS
To no longer be alone
a midsummer night’s dream.
A family to call my own,
to no longer be alone.
This dream of mine, I’ve made known,
casting my wish on full moon’s beam.
To no longer be alone
a midsummer night’s dream.
