Solitude

In July, Jasper Ballard put words to a writer's struggle with the craft in his poem Writing ... Today he speaks to another feeling we all know quite well. Something to wonder about: does writing help us bridge the gaps?

Solitude

By Jasper Ballard

Alone

Everyday

The hypnotic trance of life

Rushing by

Images flashing

Never connecting

Hiding behind the mask of a smile

Living the life of obligation

Going thru the mindless

Everyday requests of others

No time for me

No one to grant my wishes

Meaning

Purpose

Reason

A mere semblance of any

I would take

There has got to be more

Than this life of

Solitude
