Alone Today, but Tomorrow?

My loneliness is like daytime rain showers

A light yellow creme streaming through the holes in the clouds

Gentle pitter-patters against the window

Humming and thrumming a lullaby

Hoping to carry me to a sweet summer rest

Setting a warm orange glow in the horizon

Giving my skin a sunset kiss through the peeks between the blinds

The only breathing I can hear is mine

While Nature outside serenades me,

wishing for a companion among the dewy blades of grass

To lie on the cool dirt that beckons for an ear to hear the march of the ants

Still, loneliness keeps me inside

To curb a bowl of ice cream in the crease of my arm

Filling the gaps of silence with the laughter of comedy movies

While writing more poems in my stream of consciousness
