That's It

Silence fills the rooms and halls
And I alone among these walls
A time alone to contemplate
Of here and now, and not of fate

The silence is to me a sound
Within hearts chambers firmly pounds
Reminding me the endless drone
That I am truly home alone

And when I see my empty plight
I scramble to turn on that light
I hit the web and there I sit
And that is just the end of it

Oh this reminds me of a time I was home alone and the power went out at night. Chilling, but great work.

No better way to spend your time, especially when you're home alone!

Great rhyme, Liz! Yes, we all need a slice of time on our own eh?

- James
The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

Liz: I hear what you are saying here. Being alone can be lovely and sometimes not. Thank goodness for the poetry! This, my dear friend, is so beautifully written, as usual!
love, ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
