For her first contribution to the ‘Need for a Poem’ section of Le Nouvelliste, Marinique Jean-Baptiste, who lives in the United States, offers a piece full of sensitivity and self-reflection. In ‘Solitude,’ she dives into this encounter with silence, where pain gradually turns into light and hope eventually paves the way toward better days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solitude<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solitude comes when the day fades,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It gently sits at the edge of my steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It lives in the walls, the silence, and the space,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And whispers words that no one hears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I smile at the world, but my heart stays quiet,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I talk to the night when everything becomes fragile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wait for a presence, a glance, a secret,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A voice that tells me: ‘You are not invisible.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, in the silence where my soul gets lost,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sometimes discover a deep light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For even in the night, in the middle of the desert,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A small hope can still change the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I leave my sorrows and doubts to the wind,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And slowly learn to walk without fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solitude may not be the road,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But just a passage before finding happiness again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
