Solitude

Flocculent clouds suck the life from bel-esprit
She misses going out and warm springtime sun
She desires one verdant leaf upon a tree

Sharing feelings with the menagerie what fun
But this deafening silence lends to deep thought,
Deep relaxation, a need that's number one

Maybe our faith in God will again be sought
Like our founding fathers bowed knees in prayer  
Let our silence and solitude resound with praise

May thankfulness fill capacious waves of air
Not complaints and brooding that leads to despair

Contest: Heart Universes
Sponsor: Regina McIntosh
Date: 01/25/2021

Theme: "Like the silence that screams, cursing solitude....whispers of faith
sing patiently with prayers"
