__________________________________________________________________

Saturated by solitude, I breathe the scent of wild flowers. Nearby a lake, I recline against a willow. The lake mirrors wisps of twilight’s clouds above. A lilac trail in the sky is darkening to grape. Here, where all is serene, not even a breeze disturbs the willow’s slender limbs. Hardly do I miss the hectic pace of life which I have left behind. Instead I allow my soul to linger in evening’s long, sweet caress. Soon, moon’s face will glitter in the water as I lie back peacefully in stillness. Nov. 1, 2021 for unseeking seeker's 'Vibrant blissful stillness ' Poetry Contest

We can all only hope to find rest in just such a place. I can vividly imagine the setting you portray so exquisitely. A marvellous write, Andrea. Oh heck… this is the second free verse poem I’ve enjoyed tonight… I must have the wrong head on. Terry
