Contradiction

Duvet hibernation

while the tears pour down

a certain satisfaction

in solitude

Phoenix resurfacing

world encompassed

a certain satisfaction

in company

Solitude

I feel safest when I'm alone.

The serenity of solitude seduces me.

And yet, I am aware that the mere thought terrifies some.

Perhaps they simply feel more comfortable in company.

For me, blessedness occurs when I do not even have to be in my own company,

let alone that of others.

Confusion

Tired and frustrated

Yet knowing joy

Spoilt and deserted

This fool of joy

Mayan Solstice

So, the shortest day has passed without drama,

and we head to the light again,

slow minute by minute,

give thanks for the world.
