Your Leaving

Your Leaving

 

Where does my heart go 

at the moment of your leaving?

 

It seeks to be alone:

To wander on Nature’s hillsides

to climb a mountain

to kayak over the rapids of a river

to sail upon the ocean

to dive beneath the sea

 

Loneliness does not seek company.

 

The heart is embarrassed and ashamed

It avoids the public domain

 

Its pursuits are inherently solo:

Riding on a bicycle

Hiking on woodland trails

Walking on shorelines

Running on a treadmill

Swimming in a pool

 

Every recluse, hermit, and cat-lady lives with a broken heart.

    That can be very true Phil but the heart can be mended in time.

    Yes Phil - - loneliness has to be given its time of work-outs - -- then perhaps it can seek company again when the heart has partially healed. Much food for thought in your posting today.
