Solitude

A song that echoes from a distant land, yet close, white-crested, lapping at my feet. Sunlight and shadow, dancing on the strand, is this the place where Earth and Heaven meet? In quiet solitude, though not alone, I sense the universe amidst the foam.

Peter I can almost smell the salt Alone with one's thoughts but like you said not alone Maybe just at peace

Hi Peter, a lovely image of the beauty of solitude, especially 'sunlight and shadow, dancing on the strand' - and the feeling of being alone, yet not alone in the universe, very compelling~
