Solace In Solitude
Solitude
I sat down on the beach sand gazing at
The boundless horizon
Where my past and present dissolved into
Each other as the sky and the ocean
The door to one of the closets of my memory
Opened and I tried to reason if I was destined to
Travel through life with despair and sorrow
Permanently at my side
My happiness had been like a fragile beautiful bird
If I held to it tightly, I broke its wings and crushed
It to death; and if I held on it too lightly it’ll flew away
As I was thinking how my past kidnapped me
The ocean air, the sound of the sea and wonderfully
Hypnotic and meditative sight of the waves coming
In and going out soothed and calmed me
I found solace and comfort in my solitude
Nature proved to be my companion, soothing
My bruises, stroking me with her warm
Breezes and filling me with a sense of security.
