Solitude

In solitude I’m not alone.
Memories stay near.
Regrets have often held my mind.
Joy as well I also find.
Sweet turning made ways clear.

1. I like the idea of turning away from regrets, to the joy. The Memory Path looks so inviting, especially as it curves out of sight…

    Trussed unto us without asking but how we made them out to be that mattered. Many laughed at the opportunity but many others cried of boredom!
