Bathing In Tranquility
Surrounded by the city fuss
where throngs of lonely people live;
each day their lives superfluous
while trying hard as hopes misgive,
and years sift quickly through life’s sieve.
A peaceful pace is what I seek
away from life’s enduring grind
that leaves my weary spirit weak;
tranquility I long to find
and leave this city noise behind.
A walk through quiet forest green
while bathing in tranquility,
enjoying solitude serene
with nature’s calm docility,
and elegant gentility.
The scent of pine that fills the air
invigorating senses well
as quiet thoughts lift up in prayer,
and peaceful dreams within me dwell
while nature’s calm my thoughts compel.
The freshness of the forest breeze,
the calming sound of forest rill,
tranquility these moments seize.
I’ll walk this fern lined path until
my mind is cleared and dreams fulfilled.
