I Wish I Could Be

I wish I could be 
At a waterfall 
For hours I would -
Listen to the sounds
A peaceful sound
I am feeling relaxe

Placing my carry bag down
For hours i stare
Taking in the scene
Then I settle down
I prepare to create
Some poetry

Looking around me
Many others here
Have the same notion
They are the poets
Creating poetry here

Oh I wish I could be
By the waterfall
To sit and enjoy 
The sound of the 
waterfall

Karl Goulbourne Date: 10/14/2024 6:31:00 AM This reminds me of my time spent at the seaside as a boy. I would sit for hours, listening to the sound of the waves, watching the seagulls, and enjoying the peace and tranquility. Sometimes I wish I was close to the seaside or wallfall.
