What more can I say
About this heart
When I speak already
I am torn so far apart
From the place where true feeling just rises and swells
And shows me truths its so difficult tell
Another living soul
Here all alone
I thought I knew myself well
But now I wonder
How much of us we can know and speak
Is not words just falling silent
Under a waterfall
Or rather if feeling reveals far more to us
Of truths that often words can only kill
I only know there is longing here
That so long ago had to be buried
That now true feelings and impulses
Are tidal and eddy
In places where I build up barricades so long ago
All I know is this
I’ve spent to much time alone
In the deepest darkest loneliest spaces
Where no other human soul existed
Only ghostly traces
And now I do not think I can live here any more
Convincing myself I am not needing and longing to be
With human company
Does a human being ever fully know their heart
What makes a human being retreat
To such a far off place
Where they hide the truth in the shadows
While the ground underneath them
Swallows up their feet?
You are in a time of great change; I feel this from all of the recent poems of yours. It is a painful but beautiful journey, and one that I know can feel lonely, but you are not alone.

No I am not alone really am I? I think part of us tells us we are because this journey strips us away from superficial supports and we do go into an abyss for a long time. But as long as we have our soul and connectin to source we are not ever really alone but feeling alone while separating at this time in human history does feel very very lonely at times, as I am sure you also know. Hugs, lovely friend ❤

I really do understand and I have been, and will be again, in places where the loneliness feels overwhelming, even though I have support in my life. Sometimes it can’t be explained or reasoned with. I find myself fighting against the sinking at times, but then I allow myself to sink. I am in a bizarre place right now. Very back and forth. Not making sense. Sorry.
