Poem: Time Alone

I think everyone has their own "Alone" island or plan or regimen. From when I was a child, my mother sang an old hymn, "I just steal away somewhere, (and pray)". but the message that it taught me was sometimes no one on (earth at least) can help our dilemma or moments of disillusionment with others, with programs, with relationships, and other things I can't think of! good thoughts!!!!. make some alone time and simply reset: thanks!

I agree with your message in this poem. Sometimes one need to be alone, we need to have some time with ourselves. Every once in a while, this is necessary!

Beautiful poem Cris. We all sometimes need to spend some time alone and have that quality time for ourselves. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Alone time is something that I look forward to. I love my big family, but time alone is precious. After too much time alone, I often feel something missing in my life--family! That's when I fill up a bag of healthful treats and happy gifts and dash off to see the grandchildren. After a few hours of wonderment and exhaustion, I feel thankful that I can visit and leave when I get ready. Life is lovely and so is this nice poem! Thanks for sharing.

A very beautiful one, thank you for sharing this one. Votes up and shared.

I like to spend time alone, especially at the beach by water's edge. And I like driving in my car alone, not having to pay attention to anyone else, going where I want to go, when I want to, with the radio loud....

Good One! Sharing and voting up!

Every time I listen to a woman's heart , like this ! I think , where has man gone so wrong ! God ! we are insensitive , are we not ?.......++++Ed

Alone time is a very therapeutic time. Nice work Christina.

How is it that your discription of the need for "alone " is soo me !......I flew out west this week and thought of you my friend !......++++++Ed

Yeh. Been away for a while. Now Im back in full force. Check my latest ones out. *smile* right back

Beauty. A mind, a word, a rhythm. You know how to tie em all up into a masterpiece. Just as beautiful as yourself Crisp.

Wow.....Awesome...I'm completely in awe. This is a brilliant write..It's better to be alone and keep your dignity than to be in a relationship where you always sacrifice your self respect..One ,after all,should enjoy every passing moments with himself and live for what he thinks is right.Voted up

I can't think of anything better than time alone to reflect upon life's meaning. Very nicely said.

Absolutely love this, CrisSp. We must have time to reflect, absorb and process the world. It is sacred. Beautiful words to honor our solitude.

A wonderful piece of poetry, God bless.

Voted it up and awesome...we all need that alone time in our lives, at one point or another. Even if it's to help us heal, or reflect on that which makes us whole and ready again to be around others.

Beautiful piece this cris, calm and reflective and full of soul... Really enjoyed and voted up.

As I sit here alone drinking my chai tea, I say very nice language and it was a really nice calm read. Thank you.

A brilliant share; I loved it and voted up.

Voted up and beautiful. Sometimes we just need time for ourselves. Enjoyed and passing this on. Hope you had a Happy Easter.

To enjoy others, you must first enjoy yourself. Wonderful tribute to the preservation of self.

Very well said, Cris. Everyone needs time alone periodically. Quiet times of reflection or with no thoughts at all. Time in the sun.

Beautiful and contemplative work here, and true as well. We all time with just ourselves.

Well said. Have you read The book about introverts called The Power of Quiet In A World That Won't Stop Talking? You might like it.

Time alone is good if you choose to be alone and everything in life requires limits

*whistle*:-)

CrisSP....you got it right..alone time is necessary for all of us..to sort/think/hash/figure out who, what and where we are going on our path of life...this is the best way to handle stress and strife in our life...

Hi, CrisSp. Hope you'll find time to listen to this.

You have a very beautiful hub. Thank you for sharing.

Great hub! I find alone time at least once a day, it helps me recharge! :)

I think we all need that time--well said!

Pretty accurate for all of us, I think. Great hub!

I do this on a daily basis at the lake. I need that recharge after that rough work day, so that is what gets me through. Down time can be so important.

I know where you are coming from.....very well said:-))

Well said and meaningful - I identify. Time alone is important. Now and then I just need time to connect and be who I am meant to be. Thank you. Up and beautiful.

Well said, thank you for sharing. Jamie

Very nice, CrisSp, well-said. Alone time is sacred. Up and useful.

We just had a beautiful morning stroll at the Bluffs and along the beach and now, I am spending time alone watching and listening to Jesus Christ Superstar both from the movie and Broadway. The songs and expressions touch me so deeply.

Happy Easter to you Cris and family! ~Tess
