                                           Streets of Solitude

                                    Along the streets of solitude
                                     I stroll alone but not lonely
                               As musings in my mind are brewed
                                 On the roads I tread down slowly.

                                    Along the streets of solitude
                            I weave threads of thoughts as my friends
                                     And I vision the multitude
                               As souls of one race -- as human.

                                   Along the streets of solitude
                                  I loiter to gaze at milkweeds 
                                   Fully in bloom with fortitude
                         And spreading on the ground their seeds.

                                   Along the streets of solitude
                              I wander to hear sparrows` songs
                                  And offer to them gratitude
                               For their free music all day long.
 
                                  Along the streets of solitude
                                   I saunter to relish whispers
                                 Of leaves of trees on altitude
                                As dews on grasses do glister.

                                   Along the streets of solitude
                                    I ramble to inhale fresh air
                              And my morning stroll to conclude
                             With aim of nature`s bliss to share.

                                   Along the streets of solitude
                                   I connect with my inner self
                                     To survey in full plenitude
                                  The inner light within myself. 

                                   Along the streets of solitude
                                 I long to spill the sands of time
                                 In the wombs of deep quietude
                             When my knell of the bell does chime.

Well expressed and well written with so many soulful lines, i loved especially “ Along the streets of solitude I stroll alone but not lonely” sometimes even when alone we dont feel lonely. Thats a deep line: thank you for sharing, congrats on your placement
