Oh, I am talking to the moon. Oops. But it is such a lovely moon. Very dependable, it returns every month.
Lonesome is not the same as lonely.
I’ll second the motion on that! Being comfortable by yourself is considered lonesome & lonely by a lot of people. But, it’s not that way, because you can be both lonesome and lonely when you’re surrounded with people!!!
“Be good and you will be lonesome.” -Mark Twain
The lonesome for they know not What—
The Eastern Exiles—be—
Who strayed beyond the Amber line
Some madder Holiday—
And ever since—the purple Moat
They strive to climb—in vain—
As Birds—that tumble from the clouds
Do fumble at the strain—
The Blessed Ether—taught them—
Some Transatlantic Morn—
When Heaven—was too common—to miss—
Too sure—to dote upon!
—Emily Dickinson
What a lunatic.
So beautiful, Justin!
I don’t talk to the moon, but I do listen.
I find the silence comforting.
I am rarely lonesome, yet I am used to being alone.
Yup.. Boody had a moment of enlightenment….
