Seekers of solitude drift and ebb like waves
through this world
bestowing grace through rites of creation.
Seekers of Solitude
There was a fine poignancy
in the way she sat.
There was such exquisite graciousness
to be found in blue eyes
full of fire.
There was sunlight inside her.
Clear cheeks, bright with color
sent forth little eddies of giggles.
Her perfume was Love.
Some thought her curiously self-absorbed.
She just loved her solitary days,
abstracted in a dream state,
as though she belonged elsewhere.
Awash in a tide or pregnant peace,
the great mysteries of passion
deliver her up the Unknown
voice of another world
sounding the threshold of eternity.
The utter radiance
of her eternal being
saw, with clear eyes of the mind,
Spirit everywhere, near and far.
Angels on the threshold,
naked in endless space,
pass unseen by all.
Seekers of solitude drift and ebb like waves
through this world
bestowing grace through rites of creation.
Her Inheritance
The window illuminates a face
staring with head cocked,
black eyes flaring.
She sits like a shadow,
pregnant with the fulfillment
of a wonderful remoteness.
Superb in her indifference,
such vagueness gives her scope.
She lapses into a long muse
on the maddening perception of beauty
by one getting accustomed
to waking up old.
The pale, plump, quiet old crone
loves her solitary days.
Aloneness is her inheritance.
Such acquiescence, like a torpor
is a soporific to her brain.
Drifting, quiescent,
in a state of metamorphosis,
she waits for the heralds
to guide her way home.
