Solitude Of
Tranquilty
This solitude of
mine is tranquil, peaceful and calm.
I sit under the
tendrils of a weeping willow tree.
Reflected in the
cool waters, I watch the clouds swim by…
…and dragonfly
fly.
I hear the
unheard sounds of peace and in my silence, live this moment…
with no
expectations,
no remorse.
Just trusting,
This process,
where the water lilies gaze up at the sun.
This solitude is
the tranquility.
This faith is
the healing.
Waiting…
My tiny human
heart
holds in its fist…
oceans of grief.
A solitude of
rawness,
A turmoil of
yesterday’s battles.
Hurricanes that
blow cold on lonely days
Am a weary soul
with trembling hands,
With demons of
rejections
Eyes lost, dry,
deep, desolate.
Vacant eyes
without tears.
I feel the fumble
of uncertainty,
I feel the
waiting and the emptiness,
Fee unworthy,
Not loved,
Not needed,
Waiting in
solitude,
for an endless
grace…
…and the company
of love.
A Dark Room
A dark room on a
rain-soaked day,
Waiting for the
light to stream in…
A gold ray…
Perhaps from a
stray
Dark cloud…
A curtain
parting the storm.
Fragments of
beauty filter through.
A sudden
vibrance in solitude…
A surprise…
Conquering the
darkness.
A gift in my
solitude,
A breakthrough,
A dawn…
Injury healed.
I choose
solitude,
The isolation of
a soul…
In a molten gold
of sufficiency.
