Valsa George Poet Rhyme

The Bliss of Solitude

In life’s incessant din
As I search for peace within
Lone spaces I desire
And stillness I adore
Then silence is my mate
And noise is what I hate

Closing my eyes to the outer space
A window opens to my inner space
I begin to find solace in my solitude
And look up to Heaven in gratitude

Enriched with visions pleasurable
I enter into a realm so delectable
The vault of Heaven gemmed and bright
And the Earth and sea overwhelmed in light
The disquiet within me subsides
An unassailable calm slowly descends

I hear a caring voice from somewhere 
A faint voice quite reassuring, so near
Then within me the Wider Life emerges
And the lesser life finally submerges
I experience what is true peace and content
And I am so sure it is heaven sent

Oh! What solace is in my solitude!
And how I move into near beatitude!

Joseph P. DiMino January 31, 2023 at 12:42 PM This is truly profound writing, allowing spirit to lead you to the unchangeable-immortal. The true reality of being, beyond the ephemeral physical many of us wrongly worship. The quieter one becomes, the more one hears...silence is not only golden, it is a symphony of inspiration. You get a FAVE from me!

Bj Legros Kelley January 31, 2023 at 11:13 AM Your poems always take my breath away. Another favorite. You sound like me, I need quiet, and oh what blessed peace, true peace when our Lord takes us there, right in the sanctuary of our heart where He dwells <3 Hugs to you sweet Valsa <3 Be blessed this week my friend :)

Michael Tor January 31, 2023 at 8:07 AM I love that state of mind when your alone. Love your theme Valsa. You put us in a surreal place of comfort... Thanks for sharing...

Vijay Pandit January 31, 2023 at 6:25 AM Some are blissed with gift of peace--it's the power within that unleashes calm--as you so well convey in this poem, Valsa. Best to you.

Sara Kendrick January 31, 2023 at 3:59 AM This one reads like a sure way to get in touch with God and feel His presence. Sometimes we become too busy, noisy, and too tensed up to really worship. Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Victor Buhagiar January 31, 2023 at 1:37 AM Dear Valsa, I know solitude first class. My day is mainly spent alone at home, except for a visit to church and buying fruit and groceries. Excellent poem with perfect rhyme, which is difficult for me.
