©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…
