Acceptance is difficult at times, especially in extenuating circumstances. <br />Bereft of companionship, no one to talk with, causes a sadness to develop and envelope a being in an aura of grayness. <br />Diving constantly into an ocean of coldness, alone and feeling abandoned with no one to turn to. <br />Allowing self to be swept away by rhythms of waves being listened to, and finding my way through writing. <br />Watching images waver in front of me, hearing visions appearing before me. <br />Finding some lonely happiness in melodies with crisp, clear tones, penetrating my mind's intellectual imagination with a peaceful distance in life.<br /><br />RoseAnn V.
