Isolation is a gift

Bailey Russell 2002 (Australia)



Isolation is a gift — that few can comprehend
A chance to slow down — and reflect on life's bends
It's a time to be still — and listen to the heart
To embrace solitude — and find a brand new start

Isolation is a havenwhere creativity thrives
A place to dream big — and let imagination thrive
It's a sanctuary for the soul — where peace can be found
A chance to connect deeply — with the world around

Isolation is a teacher — that brings wisdom to the mind
A time to learn and grow — and leave the past behind
It's a space for healingwhere scars can fade away
A chance to rediscover — who we are each day

Isolation is a journey — that leads to self-discovery
A path to find our purpose — and live life with clarity
It's a chance to enjoy life's journey — with renewed appreciation
And find joy in simple pleasures — and newfound liberation.
