I am the quintessential introvert There was a time I had my social spurts But all that seems like a lifetime ago The Corona has given our spacetime a blow.
I absolutely love my solitude When I say ‘Leave me be’ I’m not being rude It’s just the way I’m internally wired Too much nodding and smiling just makes me tired
That’s not to say that I spurn the cliche Of the Island that No Man Is I’m just more prone to proverbs that sweep Through Still Waters that tend to Run Deep.
And now I’m on the back foot yet again By that adage I didn’t mean I’m a Brain An Einstein, a Galileo or an Edison (Well .. maybe a tad like A. Tennyson).
Dear reader I’m the embodiment of reserve I don’t seek adulation that is undeserved But even as I spin this meter and rhyme I think every enterprising poet doth have her time
In the shining confluence of our universe Of writers, and scribblers, masters of verse But since I’m the quintessential introvert I’ll tell my tales from my quiet corner on earth
Still, if by some providential twist of fate Some of you think that my writing’s first rate Know that I still love my solitude I’ll thank ye kindly and then I’ll respectfully brood.

You the person you are, as we all are. I guess though that some people, like yourself, are better endowed with a capacity to reflect on themselves and judge one’s own actions, and even one’s thoughts, to take the steps of choice towards the goals of choice. It’s the goals of choice that matter, and the steps will naturally tend to steer towards them. Keep your hand on the rudder, Mahvash..!!! All the best ________________________________
