Need a quiet spot

Poetry, prompts, Sadje's View

Woodland – Image by KL Caley

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a shallow stony river meandering through some woodland.

➰➰➰

I have discovered that my need to find 

A quiet place has remained constant throughout life

When I was younger, I would go out in the garden 

To be by myself, alone with my daydreams and thoughts

And as I grew older, the desire for solitude remained 

But was overran by the overwhelming responsibilities of life

Now when I can, I enjoy my alone time, in quietness 

I savor the silence, the feeling of being secluded

When I can hear my thoughts and answer them in my heart

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  26. The image you used reminds me of how lucky I am to have a similar creek that borders my yard.
    I enjoy the quite solitude there… Even when the neighbors children play across the street – I am safe listening to the trees, birds and squirrels 🙂

  28. Beautiful image that fits your words so perfectly. The last 2 lines resonate quite deeply…too many times we allow the clamor of this world to drown out our deepest desires that our heart is trying to communicate. 💞💞
