I wish to be in Solitude,* Away from countless distractions and useless epiphanies. I wish to be in Solitude, Away from tiring conversations of endless encounters. I wish to be in Solitude, I long to sit in silence, a blanket of tranquility, To only hear my own slow breathing. I long to listen to the trees, While a wave of wind flows over me, into Serenity. I long to close my eyes, To only see my gentle hands and the natural colors of the woods when I open them. I long to see these vibrant colors of life again, Not to be diluted by monotonous greys. I long to clear my head of anyone’s voice that is not my own, Allowing only the harmonic song that the flowers sing of healing. I long to heal and to rest, To forgive my brain and body of self-inflicted harm. I wish to be in Solitude.
