SOLACE
Slowly
I walk along old path
Miles and miles up the hill
Until the sunset wraps the sky
In red flames
The river beneath
Flows peacefully
Its tranquil embraces my being
Into a shy silence
My anxious mind wants to rest
Birds around sing about life
So detached is the soul
From the body
As if you are eternal
Timeless moment
Beyond toxic reality
Longing for something
I am missing -
Your tender kiss
Your velvet whisper
Your reflection in the candle light
Without it all
It’s hollow
The nest in that dead tree is empty
I feel your presence
Burning tears roll over my face
I do not wipe them off
Let them flow
I am lost in my own solitude
The memory of you
Is my only solace
Life is a solitary journey
Even when not alone
It’s getting dark
Time to go down the hill
And join my predestined route
Of everyday life trivialities
We are ruled by mediocrity
And stillness of emotions
Until the scent of love
Touches your heart deep
