Silence & Solitude... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

Silence cleanses the soul
Makes one look inward
Reflect in solitude
Refreshing and crucial
to body and mind
Words are superfluous
The quiet conversation
with our own beings
Is sometimes all we need

Solitude is not lonely
It is spending time with yourself
Searching
Searching for that inner strength
A time to adjust our attitudes
On life
To breathe goodness
Relaxing the mind from the negative
And see everything in perspective
