Loneliness


Isaiah 41:10 

10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you!
Don’t be frightened, for I am your God!
I strengthen you— yes, I help you—
yes, I uphold you with My saving right hand!

 

 

Loneliness    

 

Surrounded by so many ... much talking all about.

Many lips are moving ... laughter all around.

It seems an illusion ... figures made of clay.

Organized confusion ... a world so far away.

 

Every one needs attention ... their emptiness displayed.

Lively ways in forms of death … existing day to day.

Priorities engraved in self … enslaved up to the end.

Eyes focused on themselves … yearning without friends.
