Many times writing poems or painting landscapes wipes away the lonely hours. We can only relate to others if we've experienced loneliness for ourselves. As usual, another great poem. Thank you.
Yes indeed Chris..I wish I had the talent to paint but fortunately I do find poetry a wonderful buffer against those unexpected times when the lonely hours creep up on one. Thank you as always for your kind words. Lodigiana x

Thank you for your words which certainly are very true...I hope you never feel the void around you my friend! Lodigiana x
A universal sadness I'm afraid.. Thank you so much for your valued comments Robert. Lodigiana xx
