Blessed Alone Time
Leaving the world behind, I enter my own personal utopia,
a quiet place where I am in control and at my best; inwardly
wherein no thought is allowed to disturb my chosen peace.
Freed from the negative distractions that inundate me daily,
listening intently, I hear the voice that never fails to inspire,
eternally grateful to be able to discern the magic of creativity.

I so agree with your thoughts in this insightful poem Charlene. We all need quiet time to keep balanced and healthy. Especially those of us to write. Blessings, Connie

ReplyDeleteDear Charlene,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate this poem's theme of intentionally providing for periods of peace. I, too, need chair-time with the muse. From one lover of solitude to another: well-done.

Indeed, at times one has to retreat or break from all the hustle and bustle of life in general and city life in particular. Sometimes it means even keeping away from certain places for a while. I am thinking of keeping away from my cell phone for a while too!
