At One

Solitude ~ lapping at my ankles
Gentle, soothing, calming touch
Swirling round in rhythmic time
Moments like these I like so much

Loneliness ~ crashing at my soul
Crushing, dashing, paining so
Drowning in a raging torrent
Trying hard to not let go

Peace ~ flooding over me
Serenely floating cares away
I’m struggling no more
On this bright new day
