Solitude

Here within the sphere of my own becoming

I make a home for everything

I will no longer listen to the world

And what it says

To find my compass

There must be a way that a soul

Recognises a star

Even if i’ts genesis

Is a stone that forms within our heart

From our deepest suffering

Here within the center of myself

I will reach deeply for love

Wrapping its tenderness around me

Allowing the soothing of the hurting

To whisper to me deeper truths

Using it all to give birth

To even deeper dimensions

Of my Self

And my becoming
