“In solitude, the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.” Laurence Sterne
far from the human humdrum solitude shrouds mountainsides subtle snowflakes fall on spruce I run towards the cabin the heat is enjoyable I open my fine laptop type chapter three of my book no characters spoil the scene silence of nature elates reflections of sublime thoughts calming of a waterfall falling from a cliff nearby man feels peace in solitude far from turbulence of life now all is calm and peaceful a rainbow appears afar Placed 1

Roper had taken me up on the hill a few times and saw abandon sheds (home). They looked beautiful in the embrace of the wild brush and vines. Nicely done my friend.

Ahh, a very insightful and philosophical jueju poem this is, dear Victor. I love how you've painted the serenity of nature here, which allows her souls to find peace of mind away from the hussle of life and gain some perspective over life... I think it is by being close to the nature that we find our true selves.. and can connect with our own heart. Impeccably crafted piece for the contest, best wishes ~
