I Be Like A Stone

The image of loneliness,temporal feeling

No matter what I do, I feel I am all alone. I see many faces, Full of smiles and laughters. I can hear the tweets of the birds, But they seem nothing to me. I see the towering mountains kissing the skies. The clouds peep and call my name. Through the howls of the wind, I was stirred. I stumbled upon where I stand. I see a big stone near me. It doesn't move. I sat upon its flat and shiny shape. I feel the comfort. It rocks my senses, Because I am not a stone. But why this lifeless stone, Though years had passed, It continued to shine and withstand The many obstacles The many rugged floods And cruel storms It remains strong and proud Of being alone I must be like this stone Full of hope and insensitive To the cruelties of life. I shouldn’t feel all alone.

A beautiful forlorn melancholy writing my friend. You have written from the soul. This picture goes with it so well.

@TiarasOceanView For sure, you also experienced this kind of unexpected feeling. We all expect happiness, but life is so mysterious and heart so vulnerable that in a twist of a second happiness could be convinced to extreme pain and loneliness.How nice to take revenge in our hands if only not a sin.It's God after all.

The stone has outer beauty but you also have inner beauty. You are very creative and have a lot of talent. I think you should get out more to meet people so you feel less alone. There are always friends online too.

it's wonderful,some time in life we feel we are barren,alone ,but that's life and no one in your life can make you feel inferior without your consent,and comparison is sin.it's the stage perhaps from were one should leap forward.you should be on because you are living but the stone is not

@abhinalstrikr, That is right stone is lifeless , human not.That is analogical to open the senses rocked by storms of loneliness.
