Solitude

(S)oft sweeping grass in an empty meadow (O)ver flowing water splashing from the falls far in the woods (L)aying on a secluded sandy beach (I)magining all conquered standing alone on top of the mountain (T)rails with wild flowers to walk alone following sunshine through pines (U)nder the sparkling stars in a cove at midnight (D)riving winding desert mountain roads above city lights (E)very place to wander that calms the soul in no other way Heidi Sands

A truly beautiful poem. I could picture each scene vividly and feel the emotion that goes with it.

Acrostic is kind of tough for me, you make it look easy. This one reminds me of one not acrostic, just a lyric that I am trying to make kind of a soft rap song out of, it is JOSHUA TREE or, I think I have given it the title of 29 PALMS GIG. Anyway, I am reading more of yours, I like what I see so far. :)

Thank you. I appreciate that. If I have trouble reaching you by soup mail, I will try the email. I saw you questioned about Don't Be Fooled.
