facing the cross

by Gary

I, with an infection
in hospital
A gash on head
And a cut
upon eye after the fall
And I, go home
But the phone machine
is empty
The well wishes non

I, a 79 year old
inflection (mankind)
NAME: less
DOB: none given
Called you, yet
You didn't answer

Home
Cold apartment
Tea after
boil kettle,
Biscuit
Phone ring, wrong number

I, on the edge
of bed

Feet
in slippers
Facing the cross

I

Oh how this touched me. Lot of lonely people with no one to love or anyone to love them. Very sad. Crying or Very sad

    I think it's a religious poem
    Or a poem about religion
    Let you sleep on it Smile
    Thank uuuuuuuu

A lonely person may not be so when facing the Cross.

Great capture of levels of pain.

A solemn thought for the lonesome. Well pieced together and very touching.

    Thank you for saying this. I'm glad you got something
    from the poem which at first was a bit abstract so
    I added a bit. Take care.
