Friday Eve

“Whosoever is delighted in solitude, is either a wild beast or a god.” ― Aristotle

-----

House empty, lights off --

Everyone is out tonight

'Cept me, and the dogs

A lonely relief --

Nobody needs things from me,

No one to talk to.

“Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.” ― Kahlil Gibran, The Broken Wings
