At last, everyone goes to bed
Silence greets my head
I stare outside the lonely window
Moon looks down below
The stars have vanished
My hope’s diminished
All my ache disappears
I leave behind my fears
It begins to rain outside
I smile, free and wide
Maybe someday, I will lose control
And the clouds will drench my soul
I fold my hands and pray
Wishing this never goes away
What a feeling to be born again
And feel so free and small
What a feeling to be all alone
And not feel lonely at all
Toooooo gooodd…. loved to read it!!

maybe because you are intense….
and you are very passionate about your poetry…
….but you must let go of your past…
all of us should
some wise man Lao Zhi I guess said that peace one can get is only
by being in the present…

I love the line “what a feeling to be all alone, and not feel lonely at all”. It’s the best feeling having solitude in yourself, especially after all those years of being afraid to be alone with your own mind! This poem really is uplifting and left such an imprint on me. Thank you
