solitude is mine

Solitude is never mine, yet somehow

I found some today. 

I found it in the music played that

Guided me to think of God. 

I found it in the sky and gentle breeze and sunshine

As I walked myself to the church to find 

The peace I prayed for. 

I found it in the smiles of the people

Who came for the same reasons as me, 

To get some peace and comfort

From the ravages of life. 

I found solitude in quiet 

And in the rain and clouds. 

I found it in the stillness 

Of a quiet Sunday afternoon.
