A silent walk

A Poem by LauraOyeghe

Solitude is the best counsellor...

Even the sun has become benighted.
For the forlorn winds;
In this room this fire can't be ignited.
As silent as the Autumn's breeze,
As dark as the ocean's rim.
A lonely figure reciprocates my stare,
The light couldn't have been this dim,
If I wasn't alone in this fear.
And my reflection stares back upon these deep waters,
Saw I the lucid silhouette of his dark blue eyes,
Running across this deserted quarters.
The air danced around me like a melting ice,
A cold silence erupts even the walls could hear my heart throbs.
How warm is the kiss of solitude.
Albeit the clouds couldn't hold back his sobs,
Silent are the birds of the air in high longitude.
Fled I from the claws of men's voices,
To a place where I can hear my own true voice,
Life is the mother of choices!
On this road my heart makes a choice.
Can you ever go farther than the crowd?

The sweet air of solitude lingers in my nostrils,
As I walk far...Far and far alone.
Alone in a dark land of thorns and roses,
Alas,I'm away from the crowd, away from their home.
Saw I the finest of rivers,
Even the winds whispered in my ears witty remarks.
Then I gained tranquillity of the best of all weavers,
Nature- beauty it earmarks!
How gregarious is the companionship of solitude.
To hear your thoughts whisper in soothing tune,
As the fingers of life bear on you servitude!
Pondered my heart on words that nigh, till it dawned soon.
Behold,men with ritzy spectacles and benign hearts rush to my feet,
With breathless words and perplexity, they asked themselves.
"How did he get here?;How did he discover the deepest ocean in the world?
Wisdom is not meant for men of no wits.
I smiled and answered the crowd that had gone restless.
"I threaded alone; away from you and discovered a land you all have never been before. Then I beheld the secret of life in haste"
For the secret thing of life is found in a secret place.
Now can you ever go farther...farther alone?
