A reflection of a lonely life <br />is one that is sealed in silence <br />within desperate calls <br />that go unheard by anyone. <br /> <br />Sorrow etches across the brow <br />a mark of their desolation <br />as they walk the empty mile <br />alone and forgotten. <br /> <br />No smile breaks the solemn expression <br />and their voice is muted <br />within the sadness of their thoughts <br />unheard in wayward passing time. <br /> <br />All they hear is whispers <br />from the shadows that descend <br />when night falls to mirror them in <br />a reflection of a lonely life.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-reflection-of-a-lonely-life/
