©Stealth of Solitude
By BR Chitwood

These moments come
Where solitude settles
Softly, sweetly serene
Upon the selfless air.
In this quaint quietude
Along passive trails
The thoughts tumble
In silent speculation,
Memory peacefully pulses
With long ago reverie
Of loves and memories –
Treasures lost to time.
Slowly, a silent smile
Wistful in its pose
Is joined by tears in
Slow and tender descent.
Then, a distant doorbell ring,
Stealing these moments,
Displacing this golden,
Tender Cache from me.
Time, relentless, constant,
Bringing dreams and joy,
Capriciously at its pleasure
Giving and taking away…

Author: Website: http://brchitwood.com - B R Chitwood - My Mission: Writing to Discover Me
I'm a young man in an old man's body, trying to catch up to myself, trying to find pieces of me I left back in a disconnected youth and the early years of manhood. I'm a stereotype of many in my generation who can play the 'blame game', yell 'foul', and 'let's start over'. But, we are what we are, the sum of all the scary kid-emotions we experienced, the gin mills and piano bars that became our sandboxes of pleasure - lotus eaters of the best (or, worst) kind, the love affairs that did not quite settle us down, the sad poetry and songs written in bars and motels along the way... A Dreamer! A Wanderlust! The world needs such fools as we to write our books, our poetry, our songs, to offset the madness that plagues the soul.
I've written fourteen books, over three hundred blog posts, in search of those pieces left somewhere in many parts of the globe. You can preview my books on the next page. There's even a Blog page...all my posts are not showing on this recently created blog page, but, if you want to read more, go to my official blog site and check out the archives: http://www.thefinalcurtain1
Writing for me is therapy for the soul.

Well done, Sir. As JD said, I guess we’ve all had time for our thoughts to tumble. Some of us, I think, have minds that ramble and roam almost all of the time. My best to you and yours.
