Although I am congenial enough,
I often prefer my own company.
When my whimsy and muses can flourish
– at my will-
along with my moods and desires.
All things in nature please me the most
Like watching :
flowers grow purple,
koi swimming in swirls of orange,
fire glowing hot and red,
rain glistening on a leaf,
birds bathing and feeding,
the movement of the wind through the trees,
the songs of life all around me…
I often find the peace
that I am searching for
– alone.
