I seek the solitude
Of low hung flower,
The whisper of the breeze
As it settles and resettles
The calmness in my soul
That gentle sway,
And her delicate dance that moves me.
~~~
I seek the solitude
Of the wrinkles, the curves
Of decays last calling out
The end of a season,
But her beauty lingers still
Waiting to be noticed…
~~~
I seek the solitude
Of the moments before
A butterfly’s flight
When newly stretched wings
Seek freedom
Yet linger in the beauty
Of a summer’s garden.
~~~
I seek the solitude
Of crashing waves
The desperate reach toward shore
The gentle pulling back
The lull of the sound
Of her longing…
~~~
I seek the solitude
Of reflections
The jagged lines that define us
And in it, we see ourselves
And everything else
With awakened awareness
~~~
I seek the solitude
In nature’s ardent display of beauty…
~
In the flowers shy reach beyond a tree
In the buzzing of bees…
In the silent stare,
Between creatures of different language…
I yearn for solitude
Every time I follow the dusty trail…
As I discover the lonely sound
Of water creaking beneath the docks in winter
As I seek the horizon
Of endless azure sky
And also find wonder
In the clouds that grace her with endless beauty
I am alone
But never truly alone,
For I hear beauty whisper
In the solitude of these moments
Chosen –
Camera raised high
Eyes alert
And my ears are open
To the traces of poetry
My solitude leaves behind.
