Sometime A Great Sadness

Sometimes there comes a great sadness.
Is it being alone.
Is it feeling alone.
Is there a difference?

We start out alone,
But quickly find a connection,
then more connections.

But sometime, it appears that all the connections
have been severed.
This is a time of great sadness.

But being alone, with the sadness,
is a learning experience.
One I wish I didn't have to have.
