Alone

July 31, 2009 by Shirley Allard

Alone again, she contemplates her path–
Is anything she’s done worth anything?

Alone again, without her other half–
Will she ever find her voice or will to sing?

Alone again, and forced to do the math–
Is anything she’s done worth anything?

Stark and beautifully written – how important the sense of meaningful accomplishment is to our ability to feel connected to community. I’ve sung these blues myself from time to time.
