Solitude

SOLITUDE

Sound banished,
deeper than quiet,
peaceful, calm;
profoundly
hushed and still sanctuary,
refuge for the soul.

Here one rests,
inhales more than air;
spirit pores
open wide
drink in the healing nectar,
harmony of life.

Thank you. I had never heard of it until this contest, but I have been away from Poetry Soup for a while.
