A Time To Ponder

When life overwhelms, noise is loud, Instinctively I retreat, away from the crowd: Standing solitary, though crowds mill around, I seek inner peace until serenity is found. When walking through a forested glade, In search of repose, in the muted shade, I’ll quietly meditate as I saunter through To think on the years, spent with you. With my Spirit buoyed, by songs of birds, I’ve seldom a need for spoken words. This quiet oasis, allows the world to pass by; Refreshes my Soul and answers the ‘why?’ Watched waters of a slow moving stream Spur reverie, memory or favourite dream: Winds that die slowly when the evening falls, Bring pleasant moments as Nature’s calls. The crashing surf, and its air borne spume: Lazy dust motes floating across a sunlit room: A butterfly flitting from flower to flower, More tender moments that pass the hour. So whether at work or indulging in play, I try to make the most of my every day. Be the day dull or the sun brightly shine, Such time is well spent, for peace is mine. Rhymer November 16th, 2016.
