The Clearing

The clearing in the woods is where I find solace and solitude I call it “the glade” as it caresses The covert, ceaseless, controlled calmness That captures my core and character Like a meditative mantra, It manumits the melancholy misery Of mundane mortality Quiet and still, the glade is an asylum For amnesty, absolution and Apology of the mind

I like the alliteration through out this, Andy, especially the 'covert/calmness' line and 'mundane mortality' - interesting final line too, very intriguing, - best wishes for the contest~
