My Great Loss

I stood aghast, lost and deserted,
what a tragedy!....
I'm at the edge of my world, 
Isolated and forlorn, 
no friends, no music, no laughter
nothing but silence!

Where do I begin,
How do I reach out and start afresh?
How far back do I go
Picking up the threads of my life?
My comfort in loneliness, my link with the world,
My loss is immeasurable
Immense and absolute!

I sit down, defeated, empty, resigned to my fate
till my ring tone pierced the air!

With that one sweet sound
I'm alive again____

My heart beats like a thousand drums
My feet dance like never before___

I sing I dance
I haven't lost my mobile after all!!!!
