Peter Rees Poet Rhyme

Alone No More

Channels within the windblown grass and contoured
shifting sand, stretch-probing as a spindle tree,
rouse echoing murmurs of the easeful sounds
of solitude, the slumberous sea, and me.
Entranced and mindful on this wild hypnotic shore,
Solitary maybe, and yet, alone no more.

Anisha Dutta April 26, 2021 at 1:39 AM Yes. You can enjoy solitude without feeling lonely. I admire the last line. Blessing Peter Rees April 26, 2021 at 2:17 AM Thank you Anisha for these kind words.

Heidi Sands April 24, 2021 at 10:10 AM I like a peaceful feeling at the end of this poem as if released. Well done :) Peter Rees April 25, 2021 at 2:49 AM Thank you Heidi. There’s much to be said for moments of solitude, when we can see beyond the everyday humdrum and clamour of life.

Mahtab Bangalee April 15, 2021 at 10:40 PM loneliness is sometimes blessings; it's the process of self-realization Peter Rees April 17, 2021 at 7:29 AM Agreed, but often hard to bear. The difference between alone and lonely. Thank you for this comment.

Christopher Flaherty April 4, 2021 at 5:36 PM Are the waves Peter not waving back at you as if to say. No you are not alone Peter Rees April 10, 2021 at 10:34 AM Now there’s a nice thought. Thank you for that, Christopher.

Richard Lamoureux March 26, 2021 at 3:25 PM Yes as we advance we see things more clearly which is ironic considering our sight starts failing. Peter Rees April 10, 2021 at 10:36 AM Yes, a fine irony. Thank you for this thoughtful comment.

Gary Radice January 3, 2021 at 6:28 AM There's something wonderfully hypnotic about your poem. You seem to be at one with yourself and nature within it. Love this. Cheers - Gary Peter Rees February 14, 2021 at 4:36 AM Thank you Gary. My poetry more thoughtful with advancing years.
