The Beauty of Solitude

Adrift, upon un-rippled, thoughtless, ponds floating in this moment everlasting no wake – no destination – just here now observed by nature’s watchers smiling eyes. Soft breeze – a humming chant- among the trees rhythms tone induced by branch and leaf silent wings - fluffed glide - above the fray rising upon the exhaled breath of peace. Sun’s warmth a kiss blown from a star unraveling the ice of ageless angst soothing forever’s path to solitude each ever present moments whispered “OM”. ©5/3/2018 submitted to – The Beauty of Solitude – Poetry Contest sponsor – Line Gauthier
