I learned this truth in tenth grade math. But I found out it really applies to life, and especially to love. Looking for that 'special someone?' , the one who will 'complete' you? Read this first!
Blessed Solitude
One … is
a whole number
unto itself, divisible
only by itself
to remain whole,
there is power in one
solitude can be powerful when one learns not to look at it negatively as "lonely"
the silence within is a treasure
one can never be divided...so true.
I love to consider the notion of solitude. Sometimes I think the best poetry is produced through it, or rather because of it, but then it's always a paradox, isn't it, because we need other people in order to feel complete. I guess with the right person, there is a oneness, but we all remain separate even as we merge. It's nice to be able to know, though, that one is, as you say, complete within itself. You say a lot with a little here -- this could be a whole book!
The only way I can go with this is on a spiritual level so with this piece I see that we as one must look within for the answers that make us whole. Very insightful for such a short write nice work well done.
