My Solitude Begins

First blow of chill wind, whips me hard with blinding sand; my vision dimmers losing the hazed horizon's sight... hours earlier a cloudless sky was very blue and bright. The long walks in the sad dunes have ended, so will the flights of strayed balloons; Will I miss the warm afternoons and breezy nights with the lunar sheen... when the foaming waves reached my sandy toes and washed them clean? My pensive look follows a falling star without hearing its loud shattering on a rock, which darkness has hidden from the silver moonbeams... but all the mystery and silence abruptly end as my solitude begins.

Solitude is always gives me mixed feelings: the sorrow that comes with being alone, but also the wonder that is palpable in the vast sky. You definitely convey each feeling greatly. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Quite an amazing introspective write that is filled with incredible imagery of the dunes, balloons and especially the shattering of the falling star on the rock. This sounds like the story of my life. I guess some of us were meant to be loners, but you expressed it far better than I could have. Big congratulations on your first-place win in Brian's contest! Love, Carolyn
