At Peace

In tranquil waters
On the river of peace
Lethargically drifting
Life's oars at ease
Trials and worries
Are but tiny pebbles
Tossed in to diminish
In receding ripples

On reflective water
The past is resolved
While the breeze of serenity
Whisks in today's calm
The map of life
Tomorrow's downstream
As I drift along
At peace I dream

    
  inspired by "These Days"  Greg Allman's --"Laid Back"

Thank you,Luloo. I have found that a life void of noise and stress tends to keep my BP down. I rarely very get excited about anything anymore, except maybe cheesecake. Peace.
