In a rare afternoon where house was empty of life I sat and considered where my next poem would arise from. I enjoy moments of solitude to silently reflect or consider issues in my thoughts. Thus this began to be the corner stone as it were for today’s poem.
I believe imagination holds a great key for creativity thatone who writes for example can let their works flow. So also Imagination has been a large part of this creative work. Using areas of a local haunt of mine for solitary walks, thus helped to create this poem.
Using the solitude of a walk in nature and the sounds that should bring to the readers mind and combine it with a pining of a heart to meet once more the holder of their hearts key. I believe this to be quiet a beautiful back drop for today’s poem. Please Enjoy.

In Solitude Rain soaked pathways hold a tale, As a heart cold as ice behind a veil. Mountain tops unseen beneath clouds, A vision obscured by growing crowds. Take me to a lonely rivers edge, Where a Mallard rests by a ledge. In solitude I sit where a swan may feed, Few will be found that sit and read. Or stroll through abandoned lanes, As city life now absent yet no trains. Your beauty I see about in solace, Where all I find here is flawless. Come sweetly sit a while and tell why, Your beauty haunts and no yearning fly. Muted misery is my hold in absence, No life blood flows without you in essence. I wander silent fields to listen still, Silence haunts each reply to catch my fill. Why has failure landed at my door, Ease this loss so I can again soar. Β© Pat Fitzgerald 2022

Nice. I think there is a time to be with people and a time to be alone. A time for this and a time for that. All the best π

You hooked me right away with those lovely lines. What a great topic for a poem and now I want to take a hike alone and sit beside the water where the “swan may feed.”
