Solace



In the still of the unusually humid night air, I take refuge

      in the calm of my breath

      the solitude of my thoughts

      the solace of the familiar


Plagued by weariness, in the midst of sole-parenting while my love is away, the silence and serenity upon the fall of darkness is a welcome friend. The endless days, the palpable desire for a moment to just be, have this week infested lingering disillusionment... an insipid mind.

And so tonight, in the still of the unusually humid night air, I take refuge

in the calm, the solitude and the solace of knowing

that tomorrow is a new day

  1. Those days can be so long when there is just you to care for a little one. I'm glad you had a moment to yourself and take in the peace and calm of the night. I hope that tomorrow is a good day. Take care. xx
