My life's audit of solitude
Was done when, how I felt no good.
Amidst them all— my near and dear,
How I missed meeting my ‘me'-hood.
In a house spilling with people,
How all alone brooding I stood.
One, prone to Prime is far from crowd,
How in crowds I kissed lonelihood.
In search of mundane world's vain lights,
How I failed to map my soul's mood.
When in a mad crowd you feel good,
You lose touch with soul's amplitude.
Nurture you can with spirit's food,
Nor find it back once lost in wood.

Topic: soul, solitude
A very touching and insightful write that most of us could relate. Liked the ultimate stanza. A meaningful message.
Thanks dear poet Rose Marie, one casualty of this fast-paced age is: alienation with the self, soul, atman, or conscience, by what so name we call it. But that is what man in reality is, not the pretender ego.

I would like to translate this poem
Nurture you can with spirit's food, Nor find it back once lost in wood. Beautiful rhyme's mood is interestingly expressed with beauty of feelings.
