What I Do In Solitude

Eyes follow my face To scrutinize what I place On top in my mind What I do in a crowd And how I spend my time In Solitude They try to study my thoughts Which are complicated for them a lot For in company I reflect their minds While with me I am myself Like a free bird Flying I walk in the sun Enjoy the breeze I walk beneath the moon Enjoy the silence And look at stars for hours And at the glimmering lightning bolts Dividing the sky in two As if wind is playing with the curtains of heaven I look for asteroids on fire And watch them dissolve up high I hear the music of crickets See as far as my sight can travel And look at bulbs that are in skies, and underneath I talk to the Nymphs And live as princess in my kingdom A kingdom of love and of peace Of flowers and of butterflies Decorated by the lightning bugs With mirrors all around Reflecting all these lights in multi colours Universe sings to me And I sing to her That’s what I do in Solitude....
