In this life, that quietly defines me

Always brings such a sweet somber solace,

Difficult to define, harder to see.

A living that I would never erase,

So often I wonder, as to the why

Things have worked out now the way that they do.

So many times I could lay down and cry

While my spent feelings are still far too few.

Sometimes I want to sing, sometimes to shout!

If I could share my life with another,

Often afraid to let my feelings out.

So, instead I remain quiet, other

Than these words I pen, these words that I say

Of this somber solace, my life today.
