Living a life of isolation…
writing became my friend
Celebrating the day’s events,
fresh names inside my pen
Though others think me lonely,
the truth is far from that
Comrades made with each new word,
in fiction and in fact
But only to a writer
will these thoughts resonate
With voices calling from beyond,
I often can’t abate
And when my world goes silent,
I open once again
An authored book, a friend for life
—my soulmate till the end.

Thanks for that Kurt - I really enjoy solitude for for vast amounts of time (retirement was a great relief).
This describes my situation almost in it's entirety.
Thanks Dave.
Love this.
Thanks so much.
these two stanzas below, are a worthy epitaph for any scribbler, at any time: whose passion for life is immortalised within inked words:
'Though others think me lonely,
the truth is far from that
Comrades made with each new word,
in fiction and in fact'
'And when my world goes silent,
I open once again
An authored book, a friend for life
—my soulmate till the end.'...
in the words of Voltaire:
'I salute you
in the name of the Alphabet!'
Thanks LB, again I'm honored you mention me in that company.
A very true and moving poem, Kurt. All we need are words, and sometimes the best place to find them is in solitude.
Amen, Fred.
Thanks
