Solitude

Incessant din of jammed highways
suddenly lulled to deserted streets
quiet of rustle forlorn breeze plays
laughter of birds, smiling sun greets

diamond dews glisten ruby petals
on a palette of piano, poetry muse
in slow drench, rain falls and settles
as fragrance flows wisteria avenues

soft chimes within, no temple bells
moments of now, create my world
in solitude with nature, a divine spell
counting cosmos, in stardust swirled

wild waves pacified in peace of shore
graceful moonlight, sunbeams in calm
can hear beats in my deep heart's core
a tranquil meditation, my sorrow's balm.

sentinent of truth, has burned all my vigil 
fears vanished, no sound of human strife
in viscous sedation, I  enjoy a mystic sigil 
arcane power, I have fallen in love with life.

Very Real and poetic up to thee end... Gracefull and en’tune’ing to the senses, all over a spectral of imagery given to the mind from the first line painting a perfect picture from which the reader dirives from the title. A good poem I love it.. my new favourite. Well Done. Give yourself a pat on the back for this one :) I will read it to others :)
