~Solitude's sacred dance

_a red sunset's prayer_

Solitude 

          is my secret love,

I am submissive

              to its touch

ascending to a

                   higher plane

where poetry

              knows my name,

a red sunset's 

              dance for one,

acquiescing in

       the prayer of 

                       silence's nirvana

       sacred observance

                in peace

            amidst an ocean's roar

stars align in

           harmonious rhyme

                 whilst the rhythm of my mind

                     floats endlessly

Yes sometimes we need solitude...no voices, sounds or even contact with others. Just our soul communing with nature or as I call it "Alone time". Our creative battery can be recharged then...our spiritual clock reset. There's way too much distraction in the world...though we may need that very activity to get through painful times we also need peace and tranquility.

Most definitely recharges the battery, and blocks out all the ugly sounds, thanks Red.

Solitude… so hard to find in this hustle, bustle, gotta-keep-connected world we live in today. And, yet, solitude is so very necessary to the creative process.

My son is on Track-Out right now, and I'm struggling to create new work. I've had little rest and no solitude for over two weeks now. He goes back to school next week!

As an introvert who enjoys staring at sunsets, I adored this write! Peace can be just as beautiful as noisy happiness, and sometimes even more.

For some reason, the song, "Wouldn't it be lovely" popped into my head. If wishes and dreams, ahh, you know the rest ...
