Imagine, just for a moment, that loneliness were a person!
Ok, now that sounds really weird, but there’s nothing to lose pretending for only a moment, right?
So … what if that person sat beside you?
What if that person just stared at you in sad silence?

Oh, You Lonely Swan: Poems: Despair, Love, Hope
If loneliness were a person
silently sitting beside you.
Would you refrain from versing?
Would your words only be few?
If loneliness were a person
silently sitting beside me.
How to take my path unswerving?
How am I to feel free?
If loneliness were a person
that chose to sit by your side.
Would you start swearing and cursing?
Would you feel hurt in your pride?
If loneliness were a person
that chose to sit by my side.
How to bring up the strength for bursting?
How to show feelings untied?
If loneliness were a person
just staring at you in sad silence.
Would your inner peace start to worsen?
Would you stare back in defiance?
If loneliness were a person
just staring at me in sad silence.
I’d finally cast off introversion …
and let my tired heart seek guidance!
