this need for silence
where solace is found
oft leads to introspection
and homeostasis
a select few
can pass the walls
which protect
the emerging strength
when charged and available again
the world a playground
selecting longevity
in a world designed to ambush
but when it’s all too much
i’ll retreat again
to the cocoon
of my salvation
I love this

Susi,
You know I’m a fan. Every so often, I lose your train of thought. I’m sorry; the beginning and end work for me; the middle, I feel I missed something.

Hi Von – the second stanza refers to people who draw no energy but rather support and give, the third is having regained the ability to venture out again even though it can cause us harm. This is the world of an introvert. Hope that helps!
