A Quiet Place

When I begin to feel that all hope has been lost and I'm treading water on a sea, storm tossed, that's when I seek solitude in a quiet sanctuary. The decision to be left alone is never arbitrary. Sitting in the shade of a tree brings me peace and stress quickly dissolves with coveted release. In a place of silence, where no words are spoken, I'm restored in the part of me that was broken. My mind drifts in a garden of sweet, scented roses, and I'm content in a world where no one imposes. There are no tragic news reports, no mention of war, and I'm slowly floating along near a tranquil shore. In this quiet haven, faith and hope begin to rebuild. It's hard to leave this placid refuge where I'm filled with only positive thoughts, knowing I can take flight to unruffled shores when I need to set things right.

Just reading this poem eases my mind and gives me a sense of peace, solitude and rejuvenation of the mind, heart & soul. I don't know what else to say except, "You nailed it, Jenna - like bullseye right on target." Cheers again from a poetic friend!

Good morning, Connie. I agree with needing some place we can go for a while to be alone with our thoughts, or to refuel spiritually. Thanks for your great comments.

A beautiful place it is too Jenna, a place where you can go to revive your dropping spirits with no interference from the fast paced world we often find ourselves in. Tom

Thank you, John. Living alone makes it easier for me to get there. No outside distractions but keeping the mind free of unbidden thoughts presents a problem. lol
