If motherhood were a bookshelf.

 I reach for solitude

as though it were a dusty book 

on the highest shelf.

with its well worn pages

and tattered edges.

It tells stories of waterfalls

and lightening storms.

blue skies

and purple sunsets.

I quietly close the book 

and return it to the highest shelf.

to bare witness to

the other books.

and other stories waiting to be told.
