Constance La France Poet Free verse

I Love To Be Quiet

quiet
a few hours     ofsolitude   and silence
detached          and withdrawn
fromeverything       (nothingness)
  oh   sweetthepeace    and tranquility

in this      self-appointed 
silent   quietretreat      of mine
    far from all responsibilities
I savour   thestillness   the sounds 
distantandmuted    (faraway)
a wind-mobile     tinkling      somewhere
     birdschirping   (unseen)  sweetly
stillness      softness        peacefulness      

Oh happiness   
      Iamnotforsaken      with loneliness
but just alone with my soul   (hushed)
 such splendid
    isolation
                         seclusion
         (remoteness)

I love this time      cutofffromtheworld
         aloneness
forgotten are worldly matters
     Ihavethrownthem       away
detached        quietness      tranquility
   and
          I am inner    deepwithinme
     lost in beauty        (silent)
wrapped in the warmth       ofmyquiet
                   infinite thoughts

Viv Wigley July 31, 2015 at 12:39 AM Over here, you can buy a curtain that hangs outisde your open door, to keep insects out- it consists of many strips of brightly coloured material, all separate from each other, and the breeze makes them dance as it flows between them. That's what I thought of when I read your poem, BW. Lovely. Viv x ps- This is possibly the most bizarre comment you'll get this year :)
