Solitude

Solitude with You
Brings peace, love, tranquility
So I come to sit
Only to find
Interruptions
Distractions
War
Work
Wailing
All fighting to stay

I shut the door.

They pound and insist
Knocking and cajoling:
PLEASE LET US IN
WHY HAVE YOU SHUT US OUT

I remain silent
Focused

The voices gradually fading away
As I am drawn into
Solitude
With You
Where there is
Peace, love, tranquility
Where Your voice plays
Over the strings of
My heart

Strengthening me
Giving me space
to listen
to hear
You speak

Solitude.
