Her sense of solitude

Her sense of solitude

Her sense of solitudeĀ 

was lost in sunshine's spring

happiness was humming

with the fun that children bring

---

In a moment far from anywhere

she jumped into his arms

the tree, so far from where you are

unknown, she sees the calm

---

That he and her bring to she

cherubic smile of red

caught in her sense of only-ness

before a turn of bed

---

Quiet in her own surrounds

happy as the flame tree can

the blessing brings a child

made of girl and made of man

---

She reaches high up to the sky

the branch she'll almost touch

raised on the farm by stronger arms

that teach her to fight

---

For what is right, so hard to find

amongst the cloud of day

'hush'; she says; 'leave me alone

to walk, to find my way.'

Thanks - a bit of poetic license used here. The poem is about a little girlĀ - so she is the child. I know her, of course, and in reality she's running everywhere and always. This moment (reaching for the tree) provided a moment of calm and quiet, but not of solitude, as it was shared with those that love her.Ā 

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm off to enter Cosmo's monthly contest.

Hope all's well in the US. It's the first day of winter in Australia and where I am it's about 70 degrees and sunny - ah, to feel lucky for the warmth.

Cheers!Ā
