this is a poem that I found when searching for my ancestors. I do not know who wrote it but I do wonder what was in their mind when they did.

The shadow of lonliness has descended upon me.
The world is full of people, yet I'm all alone.
The Sun's rays hit my body, turning me cold.
You held out your hand, I reach for it....it was gone
I try to run from the shadow of lonliness...
The dark, cloudy day makes me feel warm.
I cry out!
Rain.....Thunder.....Lightning........
Come to me and save me from this torment
Storm.......Storm.......Storm........
the Rain, my Tears
The Thunder, my Pounding Heart
The Lightning, My Pain
It Cleanses my soul!
I fall to my knees.....
praying the lonliness will go away
one day it will........
