Loneliness is a learned trait. We are all masters of our own universe and when we are alone, we are still in good company. This is very well written. Good job.

Very interesting to read.

The sky and universe hold so many secrets

That we cannot ever imagine.

Life could be everywhere and similar,we don't know.

The secrets of all life is everywhere in the sky.

Good Evening, Greg

This is an amazing piece of writing. It strikes me more as prose poetry than free verse, and that's OK. Your skillful use of language created vivid imagery, a feeling of stark aloneness and a sense of the night's ubiquitous darkness.

These two lines are profound and stopped me cold in the read to ponder their meaning:

A man with but a shadow lives in solitude, solely by willful choice,
for he who is truly alone looks into my eyes, content with his doubt

And the resolution of the poem in the last stanza is superb.

Well done, my new poetic friend.
Ray

    I'm so sorry for the delay. I've been pretty sick. I am beyond GRATEFUL and HUMBLED. You are so kind. I think your a bit right about prose but it fit free verse according to definition. I like prose better though between us ;)
    In the two lines in question
    A man with but a shadow lives in solitude, solely by willful choice,
    for he who is truly alone looks into my eyes, content with his doubt

    I meant a man who is "alone" chooses to be alone for he never is really "alone". But one who doesn't believe in God, is content with his doubt, IS alone.
    Its hard to explain in so few words. I don't mean being alone is a choice, I meant alone with doubt. Hmm, does that make sense? Sorry, if it doesn't. I can try harder.

    I truly want you to know how immensely grateful I am for this review. It gives me hope and confidence that I have talent. Thank you from me heart my friend.

This was haunting. Your notes helped guide me to your meaning, but, the poem stands quite well by itself. I like that you used the enveloping night in illustration.

A mournful lament of one that has known much loneliness in
his life. A tragic image you project with lines like:

"A dog howls within earshot ~ a deafening pitch,
like the pull of a bow across crusted violin strings
It continues to whine into my life unaware of me"

Great message, well told. Good luck, my friend

excellent use of enjambment to keep your thoughts flowing from line to line
good internal rhyme in night tonight
excellent alliteration in hiss of humming and vacant voice
vivid detail of setting with strong sensory appeal to senses not limited to the visual
a very evocative, expressive tone
