Solitude

Solitude, aloneness, quietude
Replenish the spirit
Calm the soul
Open mind's heart 
Spilling light into darkness
A milky puddling across time

Gather the wildflowers 
To your bosom
Join with kindred folk
Clasp hands
Listen to the echoes

What a mystery solitude 
Peopled with so many voices
Swirling and eddying they 
Reverberate and explode
Cracking open the quietude
Leaving each alone
In the midst of so much activity
