SWEET SOLITUDE
One fine morning in my own little hamlet…
I woke up in my hut and it was already late…
——
I walked alone through the stenchy streets
Feeling the fire of penury, heat of sigh and sweet baby cry.
I smelt the pungent tobacco smoke and the
Song of folks that stopped my walk
——
I walked alone through the thick forest with
Yellow leaves spread on the ground.
The blue-green sight and snake-rat fight
The chirping – twittering filled my heart
——
I walked alone in the city with a sack
Felt the load of leading life
Found the crowd with cold heart and knife
Learnt that life there has no end or start
——
Tired I was and I was lost
Sought out a claim to take me fast
The road was the same, from the city
To my hamlet through the forest
——
The time was spent in chat and laugh
His heart was sweet, the load was off, but
I lost the blue-green forest sight
The chirping-twittering melody like lute
The yellow leaves and snake-rat fight
——
Didn’t smell the tobacco smoke
The song was dull, tired were the folk
Streets were clean, but mood wasn’t green
Nothing original there had been!
——
I lost the joy of being alone,
The inner voice and eye within, and
The “SWEET SULITUDE” brought me all
I woke up again and walked alone
