Solitude

Stillness in the mind comes from a breath, deep Filtering through my spirit like a friend Alone in evening's walk, I watch night sweep Across the dark sea, that has no end To see the emptiness of a long beach And sink in its plastered sand with tired feet Then seek a solitude my mind can reach And befriend time for relaxed state I'll greet Before night completes its crawl so silent I'll feel the rhythm of a gentle wave And release my soul, to be compliant And let it soar from this vessel, this cave I'll find the freedom of a spirit in flight And enjoy silence from the coming night contest Solitude 8/7/14
