Today as I raised the blinds
and looked into my world,
I refused the matted road of tears
and solitude.
I put one foot in front of the other
until I stood in the infinite ocean,
savoring the cold blue
flowing over my feet
and sparkling sand
washing between my toes,
I lifted my face in the salty air
and with my fingertips
I touched the white puffy clouds
and said,
let the shores of loneliness be distant!
Then I tumbled round and round in joy
until my desperate soul erupted,
and like a butterfly in the wind,
I became new,
and the clouds understood
and shook with laughter,
sweeping me into the blue expanse.
I looked down and smiled
at my world of solitude
and said,
goodbye

To leave solitude for life is indeed a journey well taken.

Thank you.

What light through yon window breaks?  It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
