The Beauty of Solitude

The calm lake kissed my thoughts With reflections in the water’s mirror The call of the Loon in the distance Is heard from the water’s edge Oh, the beauty of solitude! Where the fresh air cleanses the mind Thoughts untangle in quietness There is no-one to be seen A place with no hurry, just relaxation Cloud formations float across the open sky Oh, the beauty of solitude! High and low, outside and within At a distance and close by Where a moment makes sense of everything And life is a gift, solitude slowly unwraps Heidi Sands 5/2/18
