solitude!!!

on a cold winter night,
a stranger walked,
a lonely road,
struggling in the wake.

trembling from head to toe,
he walked, remembering,
his long, painful past,
of how he had been doomed to poverty.

hungry and cold he pushed on,
to find a shelter to shield him,
protect him from the endless snow,
.........

encouraged by a dream,
to meet his family,
he moved on,
thinking of his days as a soldier.

joined the army searching transient glory,
successful in his training,
he fought battles with brimming confidence,
which overflowed with time.

during one such battle, disaster struck,
lost an arm and was hospitalized,
his long recovery then,
cost his place in the army.

as time passed,
he regained his health and mind,
married a poor damsel,
thought he could triumph in life with ease.

egoistic fights making his career obsolete,
struggling for daily bread,
and lo! his wife deserted him,
flew to her parents.

the pride and manliness in him,
kept him living,ignoring his wife,
struggling with no pillars for support,
and Mr.lonely now had lost everything.

with not a penny on him,
sold his army clothing,
bought a ticket,
dreaming about his wife.

and now, thanks to the devil,
he walked towards his dream,
having lost his ticket,
he struggled through the snow.

hungry and cold he pushed on,
to find a shelter to shield him,
protect him from the endless snow,
to help him to live and reach for his dreams!!!!!
