Solitude - (Almost) - Aka Sitting In A Dusk-Filled Room.... [relaxation; Quiet; Thinking] Poem by Bri Edwards
Solitude - (Almost) - Aka Sitting In A Dusk-Filled Room.... [relaxation; Quiet; Thinking]
With eyes closed and my hands folded up on my lap,
I'm about as close as I ever come to taking a nap.
I might fall asleep but for the continuous tap.... tap, tap, tap,
as, with her delicate fingers, my wife, on her keyboard, does rap.
While composing each stanza I turn out the light,
and listen to the sounds of the soon-to-be night.
Outside it's windy and cool but our home is closed up tight,
and, with help from a sweater and slippers, I'm feeling just right.
Now the tapping has ceased. My wife may be pondering too.
And from outside there's a muffled sound which may be wind in the trees,
or a low flying airliner descending or ascending the breeze.
Of course it could be a mixture of both sounds. This is true.
It's nice for a change, this quietude. I feel almost lazy,
but I can imagine how forced-solitude might drive someone crazy.
To have a choice in the matter is a privilege I cherish;
if I had no choices in life, I think I'd much rather just perish.
- i just got the first comment on this poem...thank you. but i will now clarify that the keyboard is/was that of a computer, not a piano. b.e.

A poem that makes one feel lazy, safe and cosy, while gentle tapping notes fill the background with well-being while outside the cool wind blows.10+
Beautiful! ! In a dusk filled room, reclining on an arm chair and about to fall into a siesta with the tap tap sound of the key board of the piano played by your wife, is a heavenly moment! This quietitude is welcome, but when it becomes forced and permanent, it will drive anyone crazy! ! A very enjoyable read! ! Thank you for your sweet comment! !
Well. i feel sleepy a little..ha ha ha(just kidding) sometimes i like just to sit down and feel the relaxation. you know my uncle (my mum brother) has a big publishing company, (books, and everything) it's been three days that i am helping them in a working case. and i have slept only 18 hours...! ! ! and i come to PH from here in my resting times. i really like to take a long sleep......nice one Bri. well done

Beautiful write Bri I could feel the pleasure of peaceful solitude but with the knowledge that you are not totally alone you're in a warm house with your wife and everything familiar is so comforting!
