When the common uncommonly riles
and constant strain of constant pain
pops rivets from sanity's support beams,
I yearn for refuge and renewal
someplace on a solitary seacoast.
Where salty waves mesmerize
with metronomic eternity,
isolated with my transience
I seek to rediscover the serenity
of relative insignificance.
A ha! Relative insignificance is an intimate friend, yet I have to keep re-opening the door as well.
This is a wonderful poem of such wisdom~
Blessings,
Christine
"...to rediscover the serenity of relative insignificance"...yes, that's the ticket...and the mantra of the Stoic, and the core of thoughtful retreat and contemplation, Lannie.
