Solitary Castles Poem by Anita Atina

Solitary Castles

Rating: 5.0


People breeze into our lives
Like seasons, some last a day
Others for a season, a few for a lifetime

It would be foolish
Not to embrace all
Drinking in their light and love

Even though seasons change
And people move on
Layered meanings stay back with us

Our lives are not to be lived
As solitary castles, abandoned
To high winds and vagabonds

Our lives are to be lived
As villages, where many paths crisscross
Bringing travelers from distant lands

We may offer travelers
Hearths warm and hearty succour
Knowing, they must move on

And we must stay
True to ourselves
Our village moves with us
