“I am lonely, yet not everybody will do.” Anais Nin
She Is Silence I've seen her before, she's from every town, heavy with sigh, head to the ground, she is silence within silence, a reminder of a popular song, disengaged, eyes somewhere else, feet never collecting dust, her words make no sound. Once she may have smiled, even loved, but now she appears to be the lonely lady, preoccupied, staring through. Copyright 2022 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®️

A sad poem about aging. I’ve seen her before, silence within silence

Yes, sadder if no preparation is made to find community of some sort, see some like that. Yes, silence within silence.

You’ve described her so well. (I think there’s a word missing in the first line?) Do hope you’ll complete the survey on OLN LIVE: have heard from many and all answers are very helpful.
I most liked these words here
“heavy with sigh,
head to the ground,
she is silence within silence,” and her feet never collecting dust.
Excellent imagery.

So sad. I look at aging as a gift. I am not ready for the end of this life, but I do look forward to the next, wherever and whatever that may be.

A good description of older people without connections to the community or own children. xx Michael

Yes, too many like her. Longevity can be a curse for some.
