solitude

solitude~

being with oneself

not an easy journey

facing you

no distractions

only you…

only you in your winter thoughts

as the imaginings turn into Spring rosebuds

as you petal your words to the universe

    I’m back=sorry I have been neglecting my friends.I ‘s a job just doing everything to stay well and to catch up on everything, especially bills and paper work! Love your poem -especially the part about the “winter thoughts turning into spring rosebuds. Nice blend of realism with hope for the future.

    • dear Miss Betty, You have to take the time you need for yourself to heal…you have gone through so much with the passing of your husband and then your own health conditions! Never apologize~ if I didn’t live six states away, I would be there with an apple pie for you! Thank you for visiting my blog and your comments! Much appreciated! My phone is not working at present–so if you want to contact me it will have to be via email. Have a good weekend!
