Solitude

Solitude is mysterious

Solitude is strange

It can feel bliss'd, but it can render

Every time, it can always range.

*

It's when time smites me wrong

Or I'm feeling depressed

I'd join a lonely room for company

And tell it how I was stressed.

*

But what if you can't stand it,

What if you're pining for just anyone?

Keep seeking; in a world founded on those who care,

Never give up! Even if you find but one...

*

Solitude may relieve, it may sadden

There's no telling what it can do and when

Meanwhile, I suggest you reframe its sharp claws

And find blessings instead in soft paws...

Beautiful Tiffany. There's a certain softness to it that I like.

As someone who meditates I can tell you that solitude can brig out the splendour in you. Aloneness should not be confused with loneliness I have to say.

Try and bask in solitude from time to time and watch you dance begin. Is this a series?
