Cool
Mellow
It’s cool to be alone with my thoughts
Once the hectic pace of every day life
Stops

Actually it’s more like a pause
A pause for the cause of solitude

Solitude that’s challenging
If not impossible to snare
When my thoughts are accompanied
By so many other distractions

The vicissitudes of life
The kids
The job
The bills
The schedules
The responsibilities

But I’ve snared it now
Cause I’ve paused for the cause of solitude
Serenity
Stillness

In this quiet place
With a gentle breeze
Against my face
The blades of grass
Peeking through my toes
The pines swaying gently above

With not a soul in sight
I lay under a cloudless sky
On a warm august afternoon

Alone with my thoughts
