Constance La France Poet Rhyme

'my Beautiful Solitude'

"I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude . . . "

Henry David Thoreau, Poet, 1817-1862
_____________________________ 

    I love days of solitude
        where I dwell in perfect quietude
    and take an interlude.
        Oh, those sweet days of isolation
          lovely alone days of my creation
where there exists no worldly temptation.
        Oh those secluded days I love the best
          I withdraw-  linger and let my mind rest
I do not bother or care to get dressed.
        I often stay just cozy in my bed
          watching my bedside flower of red
letting random thoughts drift in my head.
    A fiction book reading
          perhaps a mystery that is nagging
            or a love story meeting.
I close my eyes and fall into a dream
          and I am floating down a forest stream
             lost in hues of green.
        Then, I pick up my ink pen and write
          my words falling into the dark of night
until my beautiful solitude has taken flight.
