Solitude - A New Poem written for a Prompt

Solitude


Oh beautiful place of solitude
So serene
So still
Let me lose myself in you

A place to think
A place to pray
A place to cry
A place to remember

Let me sit on the shore
As the seasons change
Touches of gold mingle
In with the chartreuse hues

A place to think
A place to pray
A place to cry
A place to remember

A painting by the artist
Known only as Mother Nature 
Reflected by a liquid mirror
Provided for her use, by the creator

A place to think
A place to pray
A place to cry
A place to remember

A place to sit and watch
As chipmunks scurry to and fro
Cheeks stuffed full as puffballs
Heading to the winter food bank

Oh beautiful place of solitude
So serene
So still
Let me lose myself in you
