Here I sit saying out loud …
I miss the crowd.

Feeling the blues…
After a fantastic cruise.

I feel alone…
After the last guest left my home.

I know it is a must…
To again adjust.

But I feel as lonely as can be…
No longer hearing a life voice around me.

Being alone I hate…
If only I could still have my Mate.

I always do my best …
Entertaining house guest

But recognize The price for having company
Is again feeling alone as can be

Is what I feel … being depressed?
Or is it the physical pain that zaps my zest?

I need to get out of this vicious loop…
And again regroup …

To fill my days…
in pleasant ways.

Focus on that I can spend …
More time with a long distance friend.

And pick up the phone…
When feeling alone.

So today I gave an ear…
To the ones that live not near.

And enjoyed the glory…
in each other’s story

While hearing each other’s groan …
And moan…

Amidst laughs and jokes… About life of us old folks .
And at the end of the day…I noticed my blues had flown away.
