A Quiet Place.....
Went for a walk along a dirt road,
kicking pebbles as I went along.
After a while I could see in the distance,
trees surrounding a lake peaceful and strong.
Continued walking closer to the lake,
looking around for a quiet place.
Too many problems, nerves on edge,
slow down, relax, unwind, not race.
A spot to sit under a willow tree,
lean back, relax enjoy the day.
A gentle breeze passing overhead,
lost, but will I find my way?
Opaque clouds all sizes and shapes
slowly, silently floating above.
If I open my eyes what will I see,
a horseshoe, seashell, maybe a dove.
Slapping bouncing rocks in its way,
sound of water not moving fast.
Air smells so clean, pure, untouched,
a pebble over the water I cast.
Lean over to see all the wet stones,
reach in, feels cool, refreshing to touch.
Opening my eyes, must have been a dream,
surely I did not sleep too much.

I find it often does me a world of good - there is so much to see and feel and hear - if we only take the time to do so.
