Solitude by Erica Jasmin Dixon

Written By Saharsh Satheesh

In the quiet,

My soul dances,

Guided by the kind candle flame,

All joy and peace within me,

All doubt and worry beneath,

Melting away or discarded,

Shed to pieces onto the forlorn floor,

I find my peace,

I am my love-- But only in this silence.
