This was for the"Solitude" contest but it was over before I finished my piece! - just wanted to post it anyway-

The cacophony, the clamor The artificial glamour The rush to acquire stuff Fill the emptiness with fluff Smother silence with yammers Compressing questions, neglecting answers Wisdom awaits in secluded woods In scarlet sunsets, understood Elicit bliss in solitude The still in search of self precludes Repose anonymities permeate And soothe the restless agitate From discordance, isolate Reclusive paths both curve and straight Frenzies lessens and abates Turmoil lightens, evaporates In lush quarantine of thought Quietude of soul is sought Equanimity in time alone Replenishes soil in which dreams are grown
