I have little talent for friendship

Trenz Pruca

I have little talent for friendship, 

Few resources to combat oblivion, 

Depression or loneliness.

 

 

Perhaps we are not alone in the end.

 

 

 As long as we can 

Join family and friends 

At meals, 

Laugh and argue  

Or, sit silently in a room 

With a sad friend, 

Or, as long as someone 

Invites me along 

Or, says 

“Glad you’re back”

As long as we’re welcome 

Somewhere,

For all our whims and frailties, 

 

 

There’s still hope.

  • dusk arising

    I have been very much a loner without much need for being included in..... then along came my grandchildren... can't get enough of them.

      sorry Dusk, I couldn't help my overzealous nature and just say
      I thought this read, so poetic
      something on the theme of the metaphorical cycle
      of life's unexpectedly, nourishing gifts..
      (any what do I know) lol, just found it poignant for some reason

        Thank you Dusk. I have had a similar experience with mine. Then they went through puberty -- ugh.
        Now since they came through that storm ok, I cannot get enough of them again.

        I'm with Robert, always believing in hope. 👍

        indeed, there truly is
        it just needs, One - kind gesture: to remind us...
        and thank you! for wording my dose of 'reminder' for today!
        loved the unassuming tone and flow
        of your hopeful positivity, nothing pushy or overbearing
        just a gentle nudge..
        this is such an invigorating read, dear poet
