Mariana in the Moated Grange by Sir John Everett Millais, 1829-1896 Posted by Hello
2. In darkness and secure, By the secret ladder, disguised—oh,
happy chance!—
In darkness and in concealment, My house being now at rest.
3. In the happy night, In secret, when none saw me,
Nor I beheld aught, Without light or guide, save that which
burned in my heart.

-- Dark Night of the Soul by Saint John of the Cross

why have all your posts got so much to do with being alone and away from loved ones.I mean darkness and being solitary.

It would help to know who you are :) but yes you are right... my posts are sometimes very dark and deep... my blog is like a canvas on which I paint feelings and experiences which fascinate me.
And the feeling of being alone is the one which I have come to know over the years...
Think of it as a way of rationalisation... :)
