a moment alone


~ a moment alone this fleeting affair of solitude sighs unlikely to share some daydream beliefs with wildflower dreams and fingers entwined midst dark silent screams where shadows elope and coral vine weaves a soft comfy couch, in three-quarter sleeves for stress to escape so pain can subside away from the noise a dark place to hide so tensions can heal and nervousness split while clenching a fist or throwing a fit as cloudy days sing and raindrops appear you're still all alone there's nobody here to know if you're well or frowns stay a while if teardrops now fall inside of your smile if fears hold on tight and anguish remains among every loss and all of the gains An hour or two a minute or three to be by yourself and set yourself free the silence a joy a world to postpone this fleeting affair a moment alone ~
Anyone else need one from time to time?

Raising my hand, I absolutely require solitude to absorb and grow, especially when something dramatic has happened - I must walk into my emotions during lone time with spirit which eventually includes therapeutic poetry spilling. This is why I was gone for 3 years. You are one of the best writers on here, centuries ago, you would have been famous. I'm putting this in my favs. I sense all is not harmonious in your world and send uplifting thoughts into the universe on your behalf. CayCay

Thank you, Ilene, so very much. It was just an idea that snuck into my brain, and I just went with it. I am glad you liked it and coming from a poet who write as fantastic as you do, this means a lot to me.
