My Love of Solitude

They are many loves in this life things, people, and whatever we choose but for me, it's something special that brings peace that does soothe To be in the state of solitude this is sheet bliss forever sure no pressure of any kind at all makes my thoughts feel so pure Solitude takes away all stress my every fibre feels like new every muscle sounds much stronger brings colour like delightful sky blue In the middle of the night being not able to get sleep there you find real solitude you alone everybody else asleep Every little sound seems so close where darkness looms one cannot see but the ears pick up hearing all causing the mind to be set free (" I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude" - Henty David Thoreau) (1917-1862)

Hello Gordon McConnell, oh the solitude is so peaceful. I can hear my thoughts clearly. I hear titles for poetry then do my poems. With solitude i pretend i am ner the water listening to the wave rushing to shore is peaceful to me. Classical music soothing classical music is soothing to me. Enjoy your day my friend.
