Solitude
Go and enter your solitude
You may discover
The unexplored terrain
Within, you may
Untie the knots
Of your mind, of your life.
You may discover, inner
Ghettos, the origin of your
Beliefs, biases, and fears.
Go and enter your solitude
You may stumble upon
Words, moments, smells, people,
And find the answer to many questions.
You may uncover, a silence,
A womb of bliss
And creativity. Even if
You find a dark, frightening, cave
You will find a way to Illuminate it.
Even if you find a gnawing fox
You will find a way
To tame it, to domesticate it.
Even if you find rusted iron
Bars, in the dark alleys of your mind,
You will find a way to mould them
Into an armour,
Into a lance,
To fight your demons.
I am mesmerised by these lines.Kudos to the writer for this beautiful poem.
