IN PLACE OF SOLITUDE

entry picture

Euphoria at its peak,

like a rising sun.

Your toil is to seek,

until work is done.

Sky is red,

with blanket white.

Excited to spread,

a beam in night.

Where there is flower,

there will be thorn.

Handle all with power,

to make your life adorn.

Can't have one without the other. Solitude without peace of mind is worthless, at least as long as we trouble ourselves. Nice, simple, concise words indeed.
