Solitude

Solitude

Moments like this

Are rare to come by

Not that hard

Just rare

Just that it comes often

More often these days

I can sense it within me

This change in the air

As I breathe in

Sitting in terrace

Watching as time go by

Feeling wind underneath my skin

Warmed by sun’s very touch

Watching as my pet fall asleep

Disconnecting from world

Letting go of things

Letting go

Of appointments and gatherings

The need and want to do more

The necessity, the desire

The hustle, the crowd

The motion, the fatigue

Slowly settling in

The gravity that is pulling me

Peering deep inside me

The stillness spreading within me

The calmness that I am dissolving in.

Wouldn't want anything more

In this moment of stillness

Just a book and a pen

And this wandering mind

To write and to feel

Pausing to even let go of them

To sink deeper

And deeper into this sensation

This serenity that has engulfed me

This rhythm that I am tuned into

This new melody coming within me

That has filled this silence beautifully

Not that I have been alone recently

Not that I am alone finally

But it has been always there

This solitude, my companion

I have had always been alone

But lately something has changed

Only lately did I realise

The beauty in my own company

Where there is no any inadequacy

Where there is no any incompleteness

Where there are no any judgement

Where there are no any obligations

Where the mind isn’t everywhere

Where the heart doesn’t feel everything

Where the ears don’t hear everything

Where the eyes don’t see everything

Yet filled with contentment

The care is still there

The love still there

In being around people

Time like this rather restores my love

Wish I could spread this happiness

Rather and not chase it elsewhere

The happiness I am feeling

The happiness I have within me

The place from where I am at now

This solitude that has filled me

That has made me realise

My existence as a whole person

Even words can fail

Yet these feelings don't

I rest in this embrace

Of warmth and radiance

Nothing is less

Nothing is missing

I am living, I am breathing

I can sense this life

Moving through me

For I have realized

I am living more and more

Than I was meaning to

In this solitude 

In my own company

Than I was meaning to

For I have realized

I am finding happiness more and more

In this solitude

In my own company 

Than I was meaning to

For I have realized

I am finding myself more and more

In this solitude

In my own company

Than I was meaning to

For I have realized

I have fallen in love with this solitude

For I have realized

I have fallen in love with its beauty
