Slow Sip of Solitude

Crack in the window
Breeze slides in slow
Curtains sway like time's
Got nowhere to go

Porcelain cup
Steam rising like thoughts
Each sip holds a silence
The world forgot

The clock ticks soft like it's half asleep
Outside the city hums in shadows deep
No one calling
And that's just fine
I taste the quiet
Like a glass of wine

This is my time
This is my truth
A slow sip of solitude
Aged like you
Let the night fall
Let the stars bloom
I'll drink my stillness
In the quiet room

Reflections dance in the amber glass
A moment here I wish could last
No need for noise
No need for light
My company's this hush of night

I'm not alone
Just far from the race
Finding peace in an empty space

This is my time
This is my truth
A slow sip of solitude
Aged like you
Let the world spin
Let the day fade
Here in the hard hush
I softly stay
Just one more sip
Then maybe sleep
