Reading other poets often inspires me, for in their poetic self-revelation I often find threads or remnants of myself. And while in that place I often find their words imbue my creativity. Jean's poem inspired me to write the words below:

Alone can be
disconcerting,
deafening,
and uncomfortable.

That is,
until you find
yourself,
and create
a space for
loving,
nurturing
and healing.

Alone can be
a time for:
adventure,
exploration,
and reflection.

ItÂ’s an adventure
to see
how far
this me
can stretch
silently.

Its a time
for me
to explore
and expand
my soul
spiritually,
and creatively,

Its always
a time
for
learning,
changing
and growing.

Alone,
is simply
the best time
for me
to become
the best ME
I can possibly
BE.

Thanks Jean, for sharing so openly and willingly and for your wonderful inspiration!
