"That inward eye; which is the bliss of solitude . . . " William Wordsworth, 1770-1850 _____________________________ I love to be saturated in the bliss of solitude, perhaps, I am a rare bird that seeks such seclusion; for I seek total silence to withdraw and be quiet, I drown in it for a breathtaking interlude. I know beyond there is the roaring wind of life, but my poet mind is soaked and my soul is weeping; oh, I need this detachment- so that my pen can speak, when utterly alone and apart my MUSE is whispering; and all those cobwebs in my head are swept away . . . But never, ever think that silent means that I am weak. _____________________ April 8, 2018 Poetry/Verse/The Bliss of Solitude Copyright Protected, ID 04-1150-419-18 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France
