“Solitude”
In the dusky corner, a child is curled
humming to the tune of crystal droplets
drowning her melancholy world.
Tears stain a red stonewall,
as a black brick lies in the center:
still, unspoken, small.
The glimmering moon’s sigh
pervades silently against
splashed midnight dye.
A bare coffee bench outside
is circled by tall dewy bluegrass
and weaved cherry branches aside.
Yonder, in a scarlet leaf bed
a golden maple drizzles and rests
in the midst of entwining red.
A silhouette daydreams nearby,
against a plum, fuschia quilt
blanketed across the sky.
Tranquility.
Equanimity.
Serenity.
Any suggestions?
