solitude
a lyric mirror 48©
"I never found the companion that was so
companionable as solitude."―Henry David Thoreau
my thoughts and i alone―
a handsome company!
a reasoning beyond
the menace of the crowd.
for when good sense has bowed,
and silent voices bond,
therein am i set free,
as darkness i postpone.

Thank you, ajay.
Sometimes I feel completely lost, and when I stop to assess the situation. I find it is because I have not had time alone with my personal thoughts. Therein lies the power of solitude for me.
