Solitude

Come unto me O solitude
and whisper in my ear
thy soft
 sweet 
silent voice 
that I so long to hear

Sing to me O solitude
and banish all my fears
the echo of thy nothingness
like music to my ears

Embrace me now O solitude 
O solitude of mine
and wrap thy folds about me
the softest velvet vine

I thirst for thee O solitude
thy waters sweet as wine
come and wet my dry parched lips
and quench this thirst of mine
then stay with me just one more hour
until the end of time
