the life within
thrives on privacy, where and when
we roam an endless domain—
under scrutiny the inner light
shies away
like a woman cuddling with a cat,
dear fierce or gentle nature, we value time
uninterrupted, unproductive,
unexplained—
all that might make up
solitude
This poem on the power of PRIVACY to be ourselves, expand and give expression to the movements of our soul; to draw a on deep well of appreciation and unabashed affection for the simple, sacred things God gives us; to make the most of good gifts.
This features in my BOOK of poems, LONGINGS OF THE SOUL, a poetic response
