Solitude

                                                   Solitude

                                  A restless night, never ending

                                  Its darkness clouding my mind

                             Creating visions of ghosts of the past

                           All dancing to the tune of the ticking clock

                      Morning finally comes in the small and dingy room

                     Faint rays of sunlight seep through tattered blinds

                      The sparseness of my existence dimly illuminated

                              My eyes open slowly but refuse to focus

                         I realize that the world is still there, as before

                           And I am still trapped, alone, in my solitude

    I enjoyed reading your take on solitude, Charles. This is very nicely done. Your best one I think that I have read here. LUv , andrea ps Sorry solitude does not have a better connotation for you. It can be quite lovely I think!
