For the LONER#

They said you are a prophet of gloom
Nemesis follows you each of the way
Some joy you never can find.
In fact you are an accident here.
The truth you seek is but shadows and reality has eluded you
This game of words can vex and crush the heart
Can turn the faithful seeker stone cold
Can make…. You just sit and wonder in confusion
Where is the comfort of friends, the joy they once gave,
The smile on their faces, telling a stranger ‘you are home’
Killing all the anxious moments, refusing your soul the gift of pains?

Are all gone, gone with the wind
Have taken to their wings, the circle is broken
The nest is history now, things ain’t the same anymore
Will they ever be?
Will they ever resurrect?
Hmmmn! hmnnnnnn the circle is broken,
The golden strands set ablaze
Nothing remains but painful memories of ;
How yesterday was,
And what it never promised.
To recollect is vain fantasy
Painful to know, painful to feel.
And realize it was a wild goose chase.
This stud,
This loner,
Is more of an idiot.
The rhapsody once envisaged, have reached its peak of nothingness
Below the throes of emptiness.
When you see through the void it was,
You shake your head in disbelieve.
What this pilgrim is been through
Alone in the grace of sorrows, pains, vexing pains
You can say, ‘life isn’t fair, but, is it fair to say that?
This is the crown and glory,
The path you must take
It is an unavoidable course you are destined to ply
You can’t afford to skip it’s beat.
The rhythm so intense, vibrating, circling wide enthusiastically
You must dance it,
You must face the music.

O loner, O loner!
There is no escaping it now,
No going back.
There is no turning around,
No comfort zone.
This is the grandeur.
It must be so
Keep warm with your lonely heart
Keep comfort with the spirit in your sacred memoirs
Keep calm under heaven.
The picture that so granulized may granulate
Help you embrace yourself,
Help you face the visions yesterday never promised
Help you to concord the mercies today told
And when you face tomorrow;
Renewed,
Strong,
Energetic,
Zealous.
This will be your song, that once upon a lonely road,
There lived a King that was born.
