Faithful companion of my life
Solitude so cherished and desired
You often visit me without invite
From loneliness you grant soothing respite
My restive mind no longer finds repose
Wandering through dark alleys of the unknown
When the sun shines or has gone to rest
I wait for you, with peace I may be blest
Sometimes you come to visit me at dawn
Before the sun announces a new day
Birds are dancing joyfully in the air
Nature is resplendent with new flair
Soft caresses are your waking calls
You awake my mind with a gentle kiss
Disperse the clamor that torments my soul
Your presence does so sweetly console
Sometimes you visit later at night
When the sun is at rest in dreamy sleep
The stars are shining dots so far away
Darkness has subdued the light of day
You welcome me with a tight embrace
To my weary mind you show your face
To my heart you sing a lullaby
We are joined in peace, just you and I.
