To walk
with open arms and gather the gold.
To recline
on the green grass and dream.
To fly
on the silvery clouds to touch the horizon.
To soak
in the glory of raw rain drops.
To sing
with the wondrous wind that frees my spirit.
To bounce
with the delicate daffodils.
To bathe
in the moonlight of love.
To merge
in the ecstasy of twinkling stars.
To sleep
stress free and dream like a dilettante.
That is the bliss of solitude.

Bounce with the glory

tender sprouts beckon

Balroop, your poem rings of beauty and joy from first word to the last.
“ To merge

That is the bliss of solitude.”
Quote that really describes solitude as opposed to loneliness. ❣️🦋

Beautiful poetry, Balroop. That solitude is so peaceful. And it makes me long for the greener, warmer days ahead.
Solitude breathes joy when we connect it with spring, as there are so many nuances of Mother Nature to savor. Yes, warmer days are awaited here too after this freak weather this winter in California. Thank you for coming out of your zone to read Diana, your feedback is appreciated.
I’m heading back into the zone now. Lol. 😀
Happy writing!
Such a carefree and uplifting poem, Balroop!
Thank you Jan, I am glad it warmed your heart.
All the wonders of solitude. Thank you.
Enjoy them! Thanks for reading about them Jacqui.
This is a lovely concept and poem, Balroop. Sometimes I long for solitude, but I don’t get it.
I know. You are a busy bee! Such moments do come in everyone’s life Robbie. Wait for them! 😀Thank you for taking time out for reading and sharing your thoughts.
What a lovely poem!
Thank you Luanne.

It is so peaceful to read your poem of the bliss of solitude – and so good to read from you after this long!!
Nice to see you Prag, missing your beautiful poetry. Thanks for the visit.
So kind of you, my pleasure truly _()_
There’s nothing like “a walk with open arms to gather the gold” Balroop. I feel the solitude and appreciate the surrounding beauty, while relishing in the “silvery clouds.” Lovely!
Thank you Lauren, I appreciate your love for nature and solitude – both are awesome companions to hang out with.
How beautiful are your words, Balroop. Every time I see a group of daffodils, I think of when I lived in the UK. Daffodils grew all over the fields, and in some of the most unusual places. The colors were brilliant against the gray spring days. This is just lovely! 💐
We have a few daffodils around us here and when I look at them, I am reminded of “Ten thousand I saw at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance…” and then I imagine what the poet must have experienced when He looked at them! Thanks for your lovely words.
And isn’t that a beautiful phrase: Ten thousand I saw at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance…” I feel the spring in the air! 💚
Some poems are unforgettable and this one is one of those! Yes! So visual that you can feel each word and phrase.
This poem is wonderful! I am looking for solitude, you described it perfectly!
Thanks Elizabeth, I am delighted to hear that.
Well rendered, Balroop. 🙂
Thank you Kitty.
This is gorgeous.
Thank you Jude.
Your poem made me sigh, Balroop! Well done!
