Random Moods on a Sunday : Part I : Another poetry attempt

Tweet

Today is Sunday 24 March 2019. I am going through various moods and thoughts and one is a poem that occurred to my mind : The silhouette of the lonely bencher in the park As the lights fade. The evening turns to dusk. The shadows give way to the darkness and the dark sky The man on the bench sits all alone, save for a few folks here and there Lost in the thoughts of his loneliness Of where he failed or what went wrong Of being so different from the world around him He pays no heed to his silhouette right besides him As he has been conditioned from his childhood not to look at shadows too much Yet his mind and sight moves to watch the silhouette That does gives a fright to him Of being something like out of the world Yet then the man looks at the sky and the moon and a handful of watchful stars and his gaze at them makes him think That after all I am not alone I am not the only forlorn and lonely one Because there is the sky and beyond to give me company And a strength of the solitude enters his veins To make him fresh again And readies him to face the challenges of the next day again. I hope you might like it ! Image source: https://pixabay.com/photos/silhouette-father-and-son-sundown-1082129/ Pixabay License Free for commercial use No attribution required
