A Prayer of Solitude

Allow me honest introspection in spite of my pretentious attitude
Offer me solace and insight in return I will offer my eternal gratitude
Elevate me above life’s stratosphere to a no turbulence altitude
And afford me the gains of appreciation and respect in amplitude

Keep me humble for company is fleeting and is no substitute
Let your void overwhelm me like an escape to a warmer latitude
For only in silence can I truly listen and tap into the inner aptitude
And find true wisdom and humility of noble magnitude
