Poem: Solitude by Craig O’Flaherty
Solitude by CRAIG O'FLAHERTY Breeze's gentle breath kisses the mist, letting soft light shimmer through. That instant when chaos steps back, into the shrouded haze beyond us. When the river's tongue laps the bending bank tasting wet sand, smoothing footprints away. Sometimes, we get to stand in our own sad shadows, in a solitude that holds us close. It's those moments that our hearts are waiting to envelop us, as we struggle to seek certainty. And then beauty melts in from the unpredictable, as a skyline strokes our softened eyes.
