Moments of Solitude

 The sun shone brightly one afternoon, and even today, on this March weekend.

The blustery wind has made her presence known and the temps are still very chilly.

 Inside the apartment, however, the warmth envelopes me like a comfortable blanket.

There are moments of deep solitude that before, made loneliness envelop my heart. 

 Now, however, as the months living alone tick by, it's comforting to look around and see objects that are well loved.

Since pink is my favorite color, there are gentle jolts of it everywhere in the apartment. 

The tablecloth has an Easter runner on it now.

 A lovely, hand painted rose container, made by my sister, Barb, an artist, stands at the base, in front of the humble table.

Pink orchid, in all her glory, catches the afternoon sun and looks like royalty.

 Yes, there is beauty and love all around, despite being alone on many afternoons. 

There is room in our lives for people, activities, and then, yes, solitude.
