At Peace

In tranquil waters On the river of peace Lethargically drifting Life's oars at ease Trials and worries Are but tiny pebbles Tossed in to diminish In receding ripples On reflective water The past is resolved While the breeze of serenity Whisks in today's calm The map of life Tomorrow's downstream As I drift along At peace I dream inspired by "These Days" Greg Allman's --"Laid Back" Feb 8 2016 an original by Daniel Turner

Ah young lass, were I but 30 years younger. I would say things to you that would make your heart race.

Thank you,Luloo. I have found that a life void of noise and stress tends to keep my BP down. I rarely very get excited about anything anymore, except maybe cheesecake. Peace.
