Grace and Solitude
Oft solitude's a gift I need to seek
when life becomes a circus of events.
And oh, how precious are those few unique
hours I can spend alone as time presents.
These days, this treasured solitude's reversed;
commanded to stay sheltered, safe in place-
away from family and friends- submersed
in finding how I can survive with grace.
This challenge offers time to find new ways
to shape stiff patterns into supple ones;
use well this stage alone to think, appraise-
live calmer days before my time outruns.
With grace, I bear this solitude prolonged-
now righted as a gift- not feeling wronged.
