Left Alone



Left Alone,
        to roam,
             the home;
Seeking to ride,
                the tide,
                       of the divide;
To find the way,
                 willing the day,
                                 words to say;
Chilling the bone,
                 left alone,
                        heart of stone;
Never more,
           healing sore,
                       winter's store;
Love gone away,
                never to stay,
                              wind to sway;
Breath to groan,
               sadness sown,
                            left alone.
