A Break At Last
A break at last, sweet solitude
to now find comfort in my nook
that's bright and cozy, quiet too;
just me with an intriguing book.
A cozy corner- left alone
in my porch chair and outdoor view
of rolling hills and swaying trees;
a book in hand to start anew.
A sweet love story with a plot
to take me to the land of youth;
entwined in webs of their young lives,
absorbed with fiction or the truth.
Perhaps a covert thriller type
too difficult to figure out,
will bring suspense until the end,
and hold me bound without a doubt.
Or maybe one's biography
to teach, inspire me, and learn
how someone famous led a life
for all to read and then discern.
A break at last, sweet solitude-
relaxing with great thoughts to read;
just me with an intriguing book-
a special gift of life indeed.
