Solitude

Sunrise at Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon National Park,, Utah, United States of America
Crisp, chill air
Flames singe the night
Cinders crackle
Sparks rise
Filling starry sky

Notes issue
In gentle arpeggio
Strings plucked
And strummed

Resonant wood
Gentle curves
Against my chest

Moments recalled
Lament in song

Beautiful, painful solitude

Sunrise at Sunset Point
Bryce Canyon National Park
Utah, United States of America
