A Place To Rest
I need a quiet place to rest,
where I can sit in hidden bliss,
a leafy place with blossoms dressed,
anointed by their shadowed kiss—
a place out of the glare and heat,
where sunlight offers dappled alms,
to close my eyes in cool retreat,
as breezes fondle shifting palms.
I need to hear the silvery flow
as water glides beneath my lair
and drifts along where worries go,
so very far away from there.
And I will sit in tranquil thought,
the world turned quiet, calm and still,
while swirling through this shaded spot,
my breath blooms like a daffodil.
If only I would be so blessed!
I need a quiet place to rest.
