On the way to my first Viennese steemit meet-up im "Wurstelprater" last month, thinking of this Edgar Allan Poe Poem.......

"Alone”

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

Greetings, Silvie! Edgar Alan Poe is one of my favorite authors, he had very unusual feeling and vision, which one could see from his works, very very special one! Many of us see life different, but not many can describe it in such nice poetry:) But your photo definitely can show something to someone, who can see:) Followed you and upvoted, have a nice day!

He was a sad ( maybe also happy at times) man with intense emotions, I can relate to and I can feel his fears like they would be mine, when I get lost in the grey sky of an amusement park.
I am just that little cloud up there.......
I feel the urge to learn how to express myself like those poets.

Very nice to meet you!

Beautiful lines. A pain cries out yet there is so much power that promises to be prevalent as a loner. Brilliant!!
