SolitudesA Poem by Robert NewtonLong flowing blades of grass that flow with the wind like a natural orchestra they speak volumes to me as if it were a poetic masterpiece. stories of life are spoken through these subtle movements going on as life does whether I watch them or not. That babbling brook that is slightly irritating to listen to yet soothing at the same time. It represents all that is peaceful beckoning for you to realize it's tranquility. The magnificent rock formations and bluffs that protrude from the earth like Titans letting you know that there is stability and strength for us to embrace. Cold, crisp air that flows through your hair freezing your lungs as you inhale it's pure, life giving essence. moving through you as if you were a blade of grass teaching you the ways of movement and harmony. Thunderous strikes and flashes of light are glimpses of life in all it's power and decadence. trembling your soul with hair raising resonance reminding you of all thats sacred. Pearl white snow caps and powdered drifts freezing life and time with it's piercing weight. molding our landscape with magnificence preserving life itself, even just for a moment. Darkness that blankets the earth with fear and uncertainty. chilling us with the unknown. yet darkness is certain and all knowing when you are at it's mercy. Solitude, peacefulness and tranquility by day fearful, glooming and mysterious by eve. in awesome splendor do I adore these things waiting for that next chance to breathe.
