HIS SOLITUDE To live in solitude A man must retire As much from himself As from society I am not alone As long as I can read and write But if a man must be alone Let him look to the stars The light, that comes from celestial worlds Will draw a line between him and ugly things In this design, you give a man The Universe, the lasting presence Of the sublime And when this man Finds in the stars A kindred spirit, a friend He begins to look at life As though a child again A sense of wonder, and astonishment That he knew not of, before He sees on the horizon Through charming landscapes And early morn All that he can integrate Into his new world And out again Through mighty words And steely pen He does not live in solitude For he has incorporated All the parts that make Him whole again And sets them out into the world Knowing that his pen Is mighty And though he does not know it His Solitude Has helped him become A poet.... Tony Taylor (Chicago)
