Solitude is a bliss for the active mind to ponder over unexplored things. Bacon is of the view that "Great city is a great solitude".I like to give a continuation to his line.."Great solitude is a great company".My poem written in the company of solitude is for u people to relish and to get the company of blissful solitude.
Company of Solitude
Men of letters invite me to mingle,
Nodding to them, I prefer to be single.
I am single in an aesthetic Jungle,
Where I could hear the river's Jingle.
The chirping of birds adds to its rhythm.
I feel it deep in my heart's fathom.
Could be well explained in Tamil as "Idham".
I find it not a phantom.
Here, I never find minds that are fickle.
Here no noises with a sickle,
Nor wrathful voices to stickle.
Happy with flowers, though young thorns prickle.
I came here not just to quiddle.
There rotates in me many a riddle.
I guess them but still in their middle.
I fried them in my mind's griddle.
Now I caught the breath of truth, that floats in the air.
I mingle here in everything that is fair!
But their great company have in them no care.
They all fall like leaves, leaving me without any scare!
