As I stand amid the woods in bloom In isolation under rays of sun A choice I made to be alone Without companions I need not bemoan A chosen way, a lonely existence No others bother me In their persistence Of time they wish to spend with me If they were to look Then they would see Chosen paths In solitude Meditation Inward thought reflecting on All those who have gone If forced upon us Isolation The pain inside May be hard to bear Cast out by societies Who see me strangeness looming Misunderstood, ignored by all In contemplation I realise That the peace I seek Is beyond these trees Despite the need for quiet reflection Conversations keep me sane Its OK to seek out some peace Of lonely places Where you can hide no seek But remember that you have a choice Solitude is in your mind In a crowd of one thousand others Loneliness can find make you quiver Don't lose contact with friends and brothers Can Solitude be enjoyed if You are in thecompany of others?
