Ode to Solitude
June 2, 2023
You are free from crowds, free from ceaseless noise
Content with isolation of endless silences
Rooms cloaked in darkness and tranquility bring joy
Still with the soothing silences.
You hear the absence of sound, only the noise of white
White noises sounding like ocean waves, so peacefully at ease
Engulfed in silent rings clear as Church bells tonight.
With the wind’s slow breeze so close
Calming the restless mind at night
You smell like a home of belonging
Yet in solitude is becoming one with the space
Layed in soft, silky sheets slowly encasing.
The mind laid at rest by the silence embrace
With defining stillness of silent serenity never-ending.
You taste like loneliness and yet like companionship
As the light slowly ceases, darkness seeps and seeks to consume
Bury in pure darkness as the peaceful silence stills to a loom.
Accompany the mind, lulled to sleep like waves rocking a ship
You feel the emptiness of noise and fulfillment in peace of mind.
The night’s twinkling sky and soothing white noises of tranquility
Tranquility runs over the mind hushing it into serenity.
Darkness ceases, and light crawls slowly seeping into the day
As the mind’s peaceful silence slips away.
Deafening silence replaces with a noisy racket
Endless solitude of peace laid to rest
As solitude came to an end.
