Notes About The Poem

a taste for peace

receding like the tide
subtle and graceful
time etches in memory
while back on the shore
voices at a distance
are the mere background noise
of a life i left behind
and i feel complete

Oliver Mckeithan February 28, 2025 at 2:45 PM I wasnt familar with the word but your wonderful poem clearly defines it for me. We all need times of solitude. Line Gauthier February 28, 2025 at 4:36 PM Not a word to casually slip in everyday conversation ~ lol

FJ Thomas February 28, 2025 at 1:56 PM Eremitism, a word not familiar to me... one that I fully understand. Your poem is so serene, spawning a bit of wishful thinking. I really like this one Line Line Gauthier February 28, 2025 at 4:35 PM thank you very much, FJ ~

Jan Allison February 28, 2025 at 9:13 AM love the poem Line and I have learned a brand new word 'eremitism' - sounds just what i need at the moment! hugs jan xx Jan Allison February 28, 2025 at 9:21 AM my drink is tea or water .. but cheers Line! hugs jan xx Line Gauthier February 28, 2025 at 9:15 AM Absolutely, Jan. We can definitely use some of that and if that doesn't work... a good stiff drink.
