solitude and loneliness

for there is such a thing
such as loneliness
but there is such a thing
such as solitude

loneliness much trampled upon
and detested and deriled
by the high and mighty
by the strong and weak

solitude is beauty
that separates life from imperfection
that is embraced with open arms
that is longed for by many a troubled heart

as i sat there
looking into the vast expanse of green fields
with the glassy sheet of water upon the lake
the sunrays bouncing of the crystal clear water
and the trees creating the reflection

i longed for both loneliness and solitude
loneliness made me sad
solitude gave me peace
tired of running for
i wanted to run away

run into the world that was lonely
and decorated with solitude
the grief of loneliness
is much better than the grief of a
heart without wine to dine

in those moments as i sat in contemplation
there was not a thought
nor a idea that arose from my troubled mind
as i reveled in my solitude with peace
the familiar loneliness creeped over my back.
