Embrace Solitude

Embracing my solitude 

and the peace it brings

not a text 

not a phone rings

it’s not so bad

having a peace of mind 

a calmness overwhelms

how useful my time

i listen

God speaks 

it is solitude

i heal

it is solitude 

i begin to feel

not a heartache 

not pain

for once I feel

happiness

         Love

                Everything above

i am lifted

grateful

for what solitude gifted

How true. Contentment in one's own company is a great
comfort and source of spiritual replenishment.
It should be known that in solitude
Life's vital spirit is renewed

I loved this! Solitude is a very powerful tool and when used properly can lead the way to self healing and peace of mind. A lovely poem; very well structured. Thank you, Jane?
