One small moment of
Solitude in the chaos
Unladen Burdens

Solitude ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #257
crisp
cold
wind
cold
wind
sun falls
like a poet’s first words
illumination lacking warmth
so I shiver
wrapped in a blanket of silence
broken only by the wind
bending the tall grass
rapt in a solitude
broken only by gulls on the wing
bending the air to their whim
Solitary Peace
In the wee hours
Sun barely risen
From its comforter
And pillows
Sun barely risen
From its comforter
And pillows
The beach to myself
My thoughts to myself
Long moments of solitary reflections
But for the wind whisking them off
And the surf drowning them out
So instead a solitary peace
Peace & Paroxysm
The day ends
Vivid paroxysm of colour
Proximate calm of solitude
Vivid paroxysm of colour
Proximate calm of solitude
Peace besets me
In this dwindling hour of daylight
Content with the cool darkness to come
The Hour of Cobalt and Indigo
This is the time of peace
The hour of cobalt and indigo
After the last glory seeker
Abandons the sunless horizon
Before the advancing darkness
The hour of cobalt and indigo
After the last glory seeker
Abandons the sunless horizon
Before the advancing darkness
I find a beauty here
More remarkable
Than fading orbs
Or heated tones
Here in my solitude
Borne of a love
For icy blues
The Earth’s gentle sigh
As it closes its eyes
For the brief oblivion of slumber
Walking ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #204
The path is wide enough to share
I need not walk alone
I need not walk alone
The Gaze
I wonder now
In those quiet moments
Of public solitude
Am I often the object
Of a gaze
In those quiet moments
Of public solitude
Am I often the object
Of a gaze
The Assurances of the Shoreline
I let the tide
Carry my worries away
As the sea whispers
Sweet lullabies
In timeless rhythm
Carry my worries away
As the sea whispers
Sweet lullabies
In timeless rhythm
Just my thoughts and my eye
In dappled sun
Breezes ruffle
Pastel petals
Stems buck and sway
Breezes ruffle
Pastel petals
Stems buck and sway
Camera and I lying
In long grass
Ants trundling
Across thighs and calves
Dragonflies
Hover and dart
Seek mosquitoes
And deer flies
Islands ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #66
I make an Island of myself
Against every prohibition
Bask in the sun
On isolated shores
Against every prohibition
Bask in the sun
On isolated shores
Until the gloom rolls in
And I see the distant lights
Across the unbridged gap
Understanding at last
The vulnerability
Of this small Islet of Me
Amiss in a vast
And lonely sea
