Solitude

“In solitude, the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.”   Laurence Sterne
far from the human humdrum
solitude shrouds mountainsides
subtle snowflakes fall on spruce
I run towards the cabin

the heat is enjoyable
I open my fine laptop
type chapter three of my book
no characters spoil the scene

silence of nature elates
reflections of sublime thoughts
calming of a waterfall
falling from a cliff nearby

man feels peace in solitude
far from turbulence of life
now all is calm and peaceful
a rainbow appears afar

Hiya Sharma October 2, 2024 at 12:17 AM Ahh, a very insightful and philosophical jueju poem this is, dear Victor. I love how you've painted the serenity of nature here, which allows her souls to find peace of mind away from the hussle of life and gain some perspective over life... I think it is by being close to the nature that we find our true selves.. and can connect with our own heart. Impeccably crafted piece for the contest, best wishes ~
