Quietus
"That inward eye; which is the bliss of solitude . . . "
William Wordsworth, English Poet, 1770-1850
I love to be saturated in solitude,
perhaps, I am a rare bird that desires seclusion;
I seek this quietus to withdraw from worldly truths,
drowning in the peace it for a breathtaking interlude.
I need this detachment so that my pen can drip;
and all the tangled cobwebs in my mind can speak.
