I Love my Solitude…

In solitude, I find my peace

Away from noise and worldly tease

I keep company with my soul

And with the things that make me whole

My hobbies bring me pure delight

They help me unwind, day or night

Nature, too, is a faithful friend

With her beauty, my soul she tends

I read books and nourish my mind

With thoughts that are inspiring and kind

I shun the company of those who gossip

Who judge and criticize, and never stop

I don’t compare my wealth or worth

With others’ possessions, be it great or dearth

For I know true happiness lies within

And not in the things that are mere sin

I am my own companion, my guide

In my solitude, I do not hide

I bask in the serenity that it brings

And let my soul take flight with its wings.

Guchi.
