Solitude Is Good Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Even if left alone with barest skin,
I wonder dear how lonely can ye feel.
There always is one's self around to deal—
A witness that dwells in one's deep within.

It's up to you if he's a foe or friend.
One's gilded with guilt or is innocent,
He's there with you every single moment,
Giving a piece of mind or helping hand.

And in your case dear me as you know well,
My presence always closest to you is,
If not me moments with me, memories,
I'm sure they leave with you a fragrant smell.

Thanks dear, I now feel loneliness is good,
It's good to have periods of solitude.
