Notes About The Poem

Forgiveness or Solitude Sponsored by: Ink Empress written 12/8/2024

Streets of Solitude

"Streets of Solitude, losing your way behind fogged glass of bliss, a journey to reality." Quote by poet

Away from mental incessant chatter,
A walk in solace away from the world,
Off time, a sense of elation scatter
A will to feel utter fatigue shatters.

A shaded path tucked away in slumber.
A struggle, dire against impossible,
In surrounding walls of dark and umber,
Cornered, hidden beast huddled in lumber.

Treading, determinedly, upward, the tree's
Sunshade is thinning, revealing a vast
Cadet blue sky space, glorious to see.
Leaving the world behind upon the breeze.
