WITHOUT COMFORT

For all I see and do

For all I come by

And with all that beset me

So crushed is my spirit,



Without comfort I lie,



Night......

Tossing, sleepless and dreamy



Days.......

Mazes unending



Home to roam, Roam to home

Sour I without comfort

For you are absent.

Your write with so much poetic appeal.
This one is very touchy and I can see
how you are so homesick of your pal's
companionship.
