My Hermitage

This isolation
is not in vain.
By contemplation
I become sane.

My hermitage -
research and reflect;
Mirrors the image
of great architects.

From Plato to Poe,
From Tolstoy to Twain -
I'm beginning to grow,
My strength to regain.

And to rise from the flames-
shining again brilliant.
Calling stars by their names -
I'm free and resilient.
