Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

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.

John Lawless July 20, 2022 at 4:54 AM Nicely done Jenna, would that we all had such a sanctuary. Jenna Logan July 20, 2022 at 4:56 AM 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
