Quietly, I walk alone,
Beneath the canopy of ancient trees,
Where shadows skip and dance and whisper of secrets old,
The moonlight casting silver on the leaves.
In solitude, I find a quiet peace,
A space where thoughts can wander, free and wild,
Yet loneliness, a shadow by my side,
Reminds me of the silence in my heart.
The forest breathes, a living, pulsing world,
Its heartbeat echoing within my soul,
Each step I take, a journey through my mind,
Where memories and dreams entwine and fade.
The brook that babbles softly at my feet,
A symphony of nature’s gentle song,
In solitude, its music soothes my soul,
Yet loneliness, a silent, haunting tune.
I pause beneath the stars’ eternal gaze,
Their distant light a beacon in the dark,
In solitude, I feel their ancient glow,
Yet loneliness, a cold and empty space.
The wind that whispers through the swaying trees,
A voice that speaks of time and endless change,
In solitude, its words a comfort bring,
Yet loneliness, a void that never fills.
For solitude, a choice, a sacred gift,
A time to heal, to grow, to find one’s self,
Yet loneliness, an ache that never fades,
A longing for a touch, a voice, a friend.
In nature’s arms, I find a fleeting peace,
A moment where the world and I are one,
In solitude, a solace for my soul,
Yet loneliness, a shadow never gone.
So here I stand, between these two extremes,
In solitude, I seek my inner strength,
Yet loneliness, a constant, silent cry,
A yearning for connection, love, and light.
