The Need of Solitude
In the quiet of my world, I find my peace,
My life is my own, a solitary lease.
I cherish the solitude, it’s my heart’s release,
Yet in the silence, I yearn for a social piece.
The presence of others, a paradoxical need,
Not the crowds that hustle, not the indifferent breed.
They push and they pull with relentless speed,
In their world, I am a stranger indeed.
No fellowship I seek with such a crowd,
Their love for devices, echoing loud.
In the cacophony of the digital cloud,
My soul seeks silence, away from the shroud.
The phone, the internet, symbols of our age,
Yet I turn away from the digital stage.
It’s all noise to me, a meaningless page,
In the book of life, I prefer a quieter cage.
Our health, our peace, drowned in the din,
Of beeps and rings, in the digital inn.
I withdraw, I retreat, from the technological sin,
In the quiet, I find my true kin.
In the solitude, I find my song,
Away from the crowd, where I don’t belong.
In the quiet, I am strong,
In the silence, I right the wrong.
So, I withdraw, I retreat, I return,
To the quiet, where life’s truths I learn.
In the silence, the world’s noises I spurn,
For in the quiet, to myself, I turn.
