None of the above (and certainly not the best I have written).

I cannot find a word that starts to say
The loneliness I feel with each new day.
Nor can I lift these arms to reach and grab
This frozen body naked on the slab.

I cannot find the map nor see the key
To open that locked door that leads to me.
Nor can I find the colour or the shade
To undermine the games my mind has played

I cannot take the hand that offers peace
To hand in hand move forward to release.
Nor can I write a poem that can say
The loneliness I feel with each new day.


Michael.

Thanks for the suggestions.
