Sitting in solitude

Sitting in solitude listening:
waves lapping at dock;
o'er moss covered rock.

Sitting in solitude watching:
a bird in dive;
a world alive.

Sitting in solitude smelling:
the scent of fish;
tonight's main dish.

Sitting in solitude touching:
cool water on feet:
the sand's prickly heat.

Sitting in solitude feeling:
warm sun on my shoulder;
I shall never grow older.

Sitting in solitude dreaming:
enjoying God's gift;
thoughts start to drift.
