Embracing Solitude

To Savor Silence – silken like the snow;
to scrawl my words, and yet to be sedate . . .
then scatter them to sky to scintillate
like stars that shimmer in a fireworks show.
To seize each sacred second – not to stray.
Once inside of silence, why slip away?
Embracing solitude, I take it slow.

I think most of us write better when we're in a noise-free room. Love the way your words are scattered in the poem. Beautiful! Best wishes for a win, Hon. Have a blessed Easter. Hugs, Carolyn
