Solace In Solitude Poem by Rajesh Gurung

Behold a solitary lass
Alas!
she finds solace in solitude
in this multitude
Wine in hand
gazing beyond
silence, she only knows
as the bar din around her grows
into a clamor
over a joke, a rumor
Glasses clink, drinks and tongues run
wanton midnight revelry has begun
A lonely sprite
on a crowded night
What sorrows hold
her, what pangs untold
What stormy seas dwell within
What battles raging
beneath the surface
of a stoic angelic face?
