Analysis of Isolation
Gone are happy times,
Only thoughts can bring them back,
Sitting here beside the windows
With my cherries in a sack!
I remember all the books we read
That caused our minds to swell
And the poems that we read,
Revealing stories we could tell!
Clocks are ticking and I hear them,
Causing stares I cannot measure,
Will the morning bring some contact or
Even something else to treasure!
Tranquil silence and serenity,
Remain near and close at hand,
Peaceful calm and placidity surround
These spaces and the land.
c. by Lena Smith Carter--Poetic Universalisms I, 2006.
