Solitude
Lift off the covers of culture
and world,
See life through an unaberrated
lens,
Find the universe of solitude,
Enveloping the primal pulse
of life.
In solitude you have the company
of nature,
You touch a corner of infinity,
And feel the pulse of eternity.
Solitude's veil separates the
existence
From ephemeral and illusory,
It lifts it above dust and drone,
The merely personal and material
goals.
Solitude is a state feared by
common wisdom,
Anathema to the happiness-cult,
Misery reserved for the vile
and the unfortunate.
To be one with nature is the
highest harmony of existence,
Gateway to sweet serenity,
The elixir of experience.
You can be distracted when alone,
Or be in solitude amidst a crowd.
Life is an inner world radiating
out,
(But recognizing the outer reality),
An inner music trying to find
resonance outside.
You have become grown-up, when
you have found your stride,
You are happy when you are on
the right path,
You have matured when you have
found your solitude.
In youth solitude is a cruel
punishment,
In old age a serene, possessed
state.
In solitude you are not alone,
You are in company of the stranger
you are trying to know.
