Within the Restless Mind: a book of poetry

Loneliness

The sky was on fire,
yet there were no remnants
of ash and smoke.
The golden hues in the sky
as the sun was setting
touched his skin.
His thoughts were screaming in his eardrums,
begging to be released from out of his mouth.
Yet, he chooses to shut them out.
An overwhelming and unexpected feeling of loneliness begins to take over as he
sat on his balcony and stared up
at the evening sky.
His thoughts had been consumed by loneliness..
and the fear that this loneliness
would last forever.
