Solitude is a balm
Better than loneliness
My own company
Has developed into a fine
State of affairs
Ushered into being
By the bold cloak
Of purpose
If I am to be apart
Then it is not such
A bad thing
To watch change in
Silence
As I experience it
The grand alchemy of
A heart, a mind
A soul
Burnished and toughened
By experience
And contemplation
But oh how a warm hand
A beautiful smile
Still sets me aflame
To forever chase
A capture of that which
Is intangible
Yet a beauty without argument
