Poetry

Solitude, You and I

Aparna Patnaik

Distant whispers arise in tranquil moments,
a multitude of emotions stir beneath serene skies.
your embrace, a sacred retreat,
the heart’s beat finds its melody.

thoughts take flight, in stillness they soar,
unburdened by noise, a respite to explore.
within the mind's hold, a silent symphony
a dance of cacophony, untold and bold.

your gift is a gentle grace,
revealing space in unraveling the layers,
shadows unwind in your sanctuary,
as my soul's refractions softly align.

the purpose found in a canvas of quietude, where
depths resound with hushed whispers
emotions rise and settle as time stands still,
in yours, my heart finds its fill.
