Is there a point one reaches being alone, night after night
where isolation eats at itself
locking the door behind
the weeping sounds of lonely?
Is there a purpose to loneliness?
lessons hidden in the shadows
amongst a forlornness of self
lost arms reaching for light.
Is there a point one reaches
where turning back is not
where turning back is not
an option and moving forward
is not possible, when all that is
left is to be right now?
There is a point and purpose
if one strives to learn and
know oneself, explains Pema
in her voice of wisdom.

yes, sometimes loneliness can cause doubts and make us wonder what is its purpose but like JL said, this is a purpose in everything.
I too get guidance from the books that the Dalai Lama has written.
