The Lonely Soul: Story of an Old Woman.
Talking by herself
Down a lonely road.
Talking to herself
Laughing all the time
Talking to herself
Down a country road.
Child, you cannot know
Why folks talk alone
If the road be long
And travellers none,
A man talks to himself.
If showers of sorrows
Fall down like arrows
The lone wayfarer
May talk by himself.
So an old woman
On lone country roads
Laughing all the time
May babble to herself
To keep the tears away.
Woman, You are sad!
'Tis the same with me.

This is a sad poem, expressing a pathetic sense of loneliness.
Loneliness and sorrow are the reason why a man would talk alone and same reason is applied to an old woman.
I think this poem expresses that loneliness is not a solution to sadness.
Nice poem@gossimill and I agree with your conclusion,loneliness is not the solution of any problem as we live in with society and there are many more who are facing much more problems than us.so comparatively we are in better condition from those and most important that we should never loose ours hope,,,one day everything going to be right.
you got it right. welcome
this is so heartbreaking, I think there is something in my eye
Sometimes I feel bad for old people, most of them would just sit down alone.
they wish they could grow young again
Hmm
Nice 1 bro! thanks for sharing
Sad
Loneliness is like darkness
