Beautiful Scars Poet Rhyme

Searching For Solitude

There’s just something about solitude that brings ease, 
sometimes seclusion is all my lonely soul requires.
When the suffering in silence brings me to my knees,
I feel a private escape is all my detached soul desires. 

Solitariness can be quite beautiful if allowed in serenity, 
each bone in my body aches to be quieted and subdued.
I inhale gently and try to drown in sweet tranquility, 
hoping to erase my sequestered and forlorn mood.

When abandoned by the world I can become reclusive, 
I start to wish I could retire from the chaos of existence.
My internal confinement starts to become exclusive
as I have a dream to live a life without resistance. 

I find pulchritude in the splendour of isolation, 
I hold confidence that being by myself will relieve
my troubled mind giving me a mitigating sensation, 
though some call me ludicrous and naïve.

So, when I feel I need a retreat from all that drains, 
I pursue depths that heal until only solitude remains.

Susan Gentry May 4, 2018 at 7:12 PM Congratulations on your win with this deeply felt expression of solitude's beauty for you. Your expressiveness pulls me right in. My thing is I want to remain there and have to make myself leave that security for my own health. I would be perfectly happy by myself in such surroundings forever. I enjoyed this.

Curtis Moorman May 4, 2018 at 10:47 AM luloo, your search for solitude has served you well. It brings out the best in you in so many ways as evidenced on Soup. I read, with great interest, your view of solitude are realized that it enhances your already deep care for others. You certainly have become a beacon of encouragement to me. So, your time spent in solitude allows you the time to reflect and to reach out to others. How wonderful that is to me!

Darlene De Beaulieu May 3, 2018 at 1:41 PM Hello Laura, solitude is great. I find mine in my music CD's I unwind listening to my classical music CD's. It works for me all the time. I do have other music I listen to as well. Have a nice day my friend.
