Susan Gentry Poet Rhyme

A Walk In Solitude

The orange glow of the setting sun
tattoos the horizon and the day is done
hours of burdens and rewards subdued
to allow for a walk in solitude

Sleep fades into random thoughts
attempts at meditation all are nought
reflections embellish gratitude
to allow for a walk in solitude

The radiance of a golden sunrise
lauds another day to idealize
a renewal of tremendous multitude
to allow for a walk in solitude

Individuality of choice dispersion 
inevitably belongs to that person
mercy a need in great magnitude
to allow for a walk in solitude
