This picture spoke to me as I love being near the water and just observing nature.
Here is the poem I wrote for this occasion.
Solitude
Sun rays shimmer on calm
waters
cane in hand, I tap my way
walking gingerly down
windy pathway
towards the empty wharf
and chair
which beacons me to
solitude
Setting sun spells peace,
harmony
the cry of loons on the
lake
eases me, I drink in
beauty
Birds rise up, fly in
formation
I feel their freedom,
unity
as they wing their way and
caw
their sound drifting off -
they leave
The ghosts of my past come
gently
husband, children and hound dog
all present in my memory
Shouts of long ago resound
my little ones jump off
wharf
hound dog follows close
after
their father, ever
watchful - near
Alone now, husband long
dead
grown up children, with
children
in other places - far away
solitary, I sit with
memories
