Solitude By the Reverie
My mind a dislodged leaf floats away
on the quiet stream of dreams from cacophony of life
to a distant placid cobalt lake
soaking the azure dust of the sparkling sky.
On the banks stand the petrified trees
for the stilled branches don’t sway,
their shadows on the lake are unruffled
for the squall has stopped to blow.
The motionless mist hangs, a veil of dense solitude,
until the clouds descend and melt it away.
The drops of rain pierce the water,
dissipate the pain of the broken heart
in radiating ripples that disappear
in the calm water poised unperturbed.
They take my mind behind the shroud of stillness
to the serene shade of solitude
on the banks of the flowing dreams.
I plunge and dive deep within,
see my dreams weave at lonely depth
the tapestry of profound bliss for my soul.
