Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Tired Souls
Isolation is a need for those whose souls are tired”, Arab scholar
Invent an invisible space, where images are visual.
Solve the need for rest from others in your rest, soul.
Only the lonely express this need for frivolity?
“Late again!” Leaving your space is such agony!
Amid all the yells, shouts, and greetings you are asunder.
Time flies, teaming with work, oozing away time’s happier,
Inevitable progress, that diminishes our secure imaginings.
“Obviously, you’re crazy! Who wants to be alones?”
Never assume that being alone means lonely!
Being alone centers you and helps balance you.
It rejuvenates your ability to listen to inanities that boo
Your mood into a world of blue!
Being alone helps you heal from long forgotten
Wounds, that bleed till you cauterize their braying
That boo your mood into the blue!
Being alone solidifies your faith,
As you accept your problems as tests of strength,
Your center, alone, is your faith and your strength!
Don’t let the boos send you in a mood of blue!
