Solitude Poem by Jerry Behr Number 2

Solitude I seek thee as I walk the streets away from the hustle and
bustle where my thoughts can wander all over the place in any
direction. It only takes a few seconds to put my foot on the road
and to be on my journey to wherever it takes me.
Rambling thoughts and emotions let loose and free.

Solitude I seek thee as I walk up my street
during sunset and watch the
orange sun sink below the horizon.
I cannot take the stresses and strains anymore and seek relief,
in roving, searching thoughts which is my belief.

Solitude I seek thee I feel the freedom it brings while nobody
interrupts my thoughts of mind or pointing an incriminating
finger at me. The soaring flight of thoughts uninterrupted
flowing freely like the wind gliding between trees, this is freedom.
My thoughts might be disjointed even encrypted in my kingdom.

Solitude I see thee as thoughts rejuvenate my spirit.
I look at the city street lights and passing traffic I try
to keep my thoughts in order so as I can make sense of them.
As my thoughts weave an intellectual lace
I feel the early evening breeze on my face.
