I would rather sit alone in silent woods than in a packed room caving under cacophony of half-empty words... And yet - how else to find the golden echo of your hidden heart? CG |

How, indeed, CG, how indeed? Solitude is one thing, but if you need that hidden echo . . . ~*~ My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them. ~*~ |

Apparently we all driven to seek an 'echo' to our sound and heart ... fine contemplative 'write!' |

Read like a suede collar leaning back against the pines. Nice |

I love the first stanza, CastleGuard, and relate to it completely. However, I would have thought that finding the "golden echo of (her) hidden heart" would be far easier to find in woods silent except for the little voices of the woodland creatures – either with her or alone – but it is still a beautiful stanza.

Jerry - thank you for understanding KentAshbyKorb - thank you for indulging in my contemplation and the kind words. Bruce - appreciate you visiting and commenting ThisDiamond - thank you for the interesting analogy Owl - I understand your comment - have thought of it myself, though my intent was to contrast the need for solitude /reflection/introspection, vs the need for other people, other relationships. To find the 'golden' one, sure must sift through lot of 'empty' words... On the flip side, I would be the first to welcome one meeting in the forest, seemingly of like minds and interests. But - perhaps too close? Risk of being alone...together.......??? Never know. Thank you. CG |
