When you feel lonely
A poem by Jessica Semaan
When you feel lonely
Remember that you are not alone in your loneliness
A sea of lonely humans roam our planet every day
When you feel lonely
Quit the mind chatter and listen to the truth your heart has to tell you
When you feel lonely
Stay there, and feel it deeply
For the more you feel it, the sooner you will see beyond it
Yet all you want to do is run, run and run
Don’t
For your loneliness will keep chasing you until you look it in the eyes and listen to it
For it is a messenger from the great beyond
Hold your loneliness
Accept your loneliness
And soon you will realize
You are never lonely when in the presence of the trees and the oceans
You are never lonely in your own company
Your own company that is impatiently waiting to share with you secrets, dreams and tales
You are never lonely when you feel the compassion in your heart, and realize there is no difference between you and them
There is only us
There is only one
